MADISON, Wis. — The UW-Madison Police Department (UWPD) is investigating after private photos and a video of UW volleyball student-athletes were shared publicly without their consent.
UW Athletics issued a statement Wednesday saying the private photos and video were never intended to be shared publicly and are now being circulated digitally.
"The unauthorized sharing is a significant and wrongful invasion of the student-athletes' privacy, including potential violations of university policies and criminal statutes," UW Athletics said in part.
According to UW Athletics, when the student-athletes became aware of the incident, they contact UWPD.
UWPD is now investigating multiple crimes, including sharing sensitive photos without consent.
