Report: LA police investigating Chadima allegation

The Columbian
Published: March 22, 2012, 5:00pm

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating an allegation that former Wisconsin athletic official John Chadima sexually assaulted a student employee.

Detective Jesse Alvarado confirmed the investigation to the Wisconsin State Journal (http://bit.ly/GVAwHB) on Friday. Alvarado would not give details, citing confidentiality in sexual assault cases.

Chadima was suspended and resigned in January after a male student employee accused him of grabbing his crotch at a pre-Rose Bowl party at a Los Angeles hotel in December.

In January, an LAPD spokesman told the State Journal the department was not conducting a criminal investigation. But this week, Alvarado said in a letter to a Madison resident that the department had begun a criminal investigation.

Chadima’s attorney did not immediately return a message Friday evening.
