SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – Notre Dame’s president says the university acted with integrity in its handling of sexual misconduct allegations against a football player by a St. Mary’s College student who later committed suicide.
The Rev. John I. Jenkins tells the South Bend Tribune that campus police conducted a “thorough and judicious investigation that followed the facts where they led.”
St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak said Dec. 16 that his office won’t pursue criminal charges in the case.
Nineteen-year-old Elizabeth Seeberg died of a suspected drug overdose Sept. 10. Dvorak says Seeberg accused a student-athlete of touching her breasts on Aug. 31.
Tom and Mary Seeberg of Northbrook, Ill., have criticized Notre Dame’s handling of their daughter’s death, telling the Chicago Tribune that the school’s investigation was superficial.
