University of Wisconsin-Madison police are investigating the circulation of “private photos and video” of Badgers volleyball players, including from inside the team’s locker room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The athletic department released a statement on the matter Wednesday after the images were being shared online.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The materials originated on the phone of a member of the team. It’s unclear how they were distributed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe are aware that private photos and video of UW volleyball student-athletes that were never intended to be shared publicly are being circulated digitally,\u201d UW’s statement read.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe unauthorized sharing is a significant and wrongful invasion of the student-athletes’ privacy, including potential violations of university policies and criminal statutes. When the student-athletes became aware of the circulating photos, they contacted the UW-Madison Police Department. UWPD is investigating multiple crimes, including sharing sensitive photos without consent. UWPD is not investigating the volleyball student-athletes for wrongdoing in this matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Badgers coach Kelly Sheffield didn’t want to comment beyond the statement but said he’s in full support of players and there’s no disciplinary action coming from the team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

UW, which is scheduled to play Michigan State at the Field House on Friday, won the 2021 NCAA championship and is 13-3 this season. It is tied for second in the Big Ten Conference with a 7-1 mark in league play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The UW-Madison Police Department cited the ongoing investigation when declining to provide additional information including when a complaint was made and whether other agencies are involved in the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
