St. Joseph ((IN)) County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak said in a news release that his office has decided not to pursue charges in a case where a St. Mary's ((IN)) College student accused a Notre Dame football player of sexual battery. 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 an apparent drug overdose back on September 10th. Dvorak says Seeberg had accused a student-athlete of touching her breasts about two weeks earlier.
Dvorak did not name the athlete.
Seeberg's parents told the Chicago Tribune that campus police conducted a "superficial" investigation. The University of Notre Dame released a statement saying that it investigates all potential violations of the law or university policies with "the utmost professionalism."
The Dvorak release is hyah...
