Prosecutor Reviewing Notre Dame Sexual Battery Claim

Filed under:

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- An Indiana prosecutor said Monday that he is reviewing a case involving a student who reportedly accused a Notre Dame football player of sexual battery.

Michael A. Dvorak, the prosecuting attorney for St. Joseph County, said that his office has received a completed report from Notre Dame campus police regarding the alleged Aug. 31 assault of Elizabeth Seeberg and will decide whether further action is warranted.

"I wish to emphasize that cases involving such allegations are complex and it would be inappropriate to rush to conclusions, rather than allowing the thorough review by prosecutors to occur in this matter," Dvorak said.

Seeberg identified her alleged assailant as a Notre Dame football player, the Chicago Tribune reported Sunday, citing an unidentified source. The school, team, Seeberg's family in Northbrook, Ill., and authorities refused to discuss details of the case Monday.

Seeberg was a student at St. Mary's College, near Notre Dame. She died on Sept. 10 of a suspected drug overdose, according to the Tribune, citing the sheriff's office.
