SDSU Has Not Investigated Rape Allegation Against Football Players: Report

SAN DIEGO - Allegations of rape against five SDSU football players are apparently not being investigated by the university.

That's according the Los Angeles Times which reports the athletes left an unconscious, underaged girl bloody and bruised at an off-campus house party back in October. In a statement to the Times the university says the San Diego Police Department asked administrations to delay any action that could potentially compromise its criminal investigation.

One student athlete apparently told university officials they are scared and worried that nothing is being done about the alleged incident.

A statement from SDSU to KOGO News reads in part:

"SDSU has never received the confirmed names of the victim nor anyone considered a suspect from the SDPD and, to date, no victim or witness have reported the off campus incident to SDSU."
"SDSU directed SDPD, in writing, to provide the reported victim with SDSU’s Title IX officers’ information directly."

The university also said it offers an extensive range of services and programs designed to prevent sexual misconduct and address those incidents when they occur.
