Two men are in custody in Madison, Wisconsin, after witnesses and surveillance footage revealed they assaulted a transgender woman on the campus of the University of Wisconsin, according to a complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court on Tuesday.

According to the complaint, the unnamed woman told police on their arrival at the scene, "These guys raped me, they tried to f**king kill me," WKOW reports.

Yorfred Gutierrez, 31, and Arturo Santos Albujas, 27, are each charged with attempted second-degree sexual assault and battery, as well as strangulation, suffocation, and false imprisonment as a party to a crime.

Neither the victim nor the alleged assailants are associated with the University of Wisconsin, the complaint states. Both men were arrested at the scene.

Two witnesses who called police added to the victim's account.

The men each face a maximum of 20 years in prison on the attempted sexual assault charges, as well as six years on each of the strangulation and false imprisonment charges.

A court commissioner set Gutierrez's bond at $75,000 and Santos Albujas' at $100,000. Both men remain in custody. They appear in court for preliminary hearings on September 8.
