SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – An Indiana prosecutor says his office won’t pursue criminal charges in the case of a St. Mary’s College student who reportedly accused a Notre Dame football player of sexual battery.
St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak said in a news release Thursday that the decision was based on evidence and the fact that statements by 19-year-old Elizabeth “Lizzy” Seeberg would likely be inadmissible in court.
Seeberg died of a suspected drug overdose on Sept. 10. Dvorak says Seeberg had accused a student-athlete of touching her breasts on Aug. 31.
He did not name the athlete.
Seeberg’s parents told the Chicago Tribune that campus police conducted a “superficial” investigation. Notre Dame said in a statement that it investigates all potential violations of the law or university policies with “the utmost professionalism.”
