In an interview with the Daily Mail, Marc Lovicott, University of Wisconsin Police’s executive director of communications, said none of the players on the team are being investigated.

“This is a unique case because of the high profile of the girls involved and our detectives are working on this case as a priority,” Lovicott said. “Nothing like that is suspected in this case and again, this case is unique because of the high profile of the players.”
