It’s ‘possible’ U of I could have prevented 2013 sexual assault, president says

The University of Idaho could have prevented the 2013 sexual assault of a student-athlete if it had handled an earlier incident correctly, President Chuck Staben told the Idaho Statesman on Wednesday.

The university on Tuesday released its independent investigative report into misconduct complaints against former football player Jahrie Level in 2012-13. The portion of the report made public focuses on the handling of the sexual assault complaint lodged by Mairin Jameson in April 2013.

However, the investigators also reviewed two prior incidents, Staben said — a November 2012 case involving a woman who was found heavily intoxicated with severe bruising after spending time with Level and an April 2013 complaint by former track athlete Maggie Miller that Level threatened her.
