A second key statement that University of Idaho Athletic Director Rob Spear made to the student senate while on administrative leave has proven untrue.
"I can tell you that we have not had in the recent past here any issues with sexual assault," Spear told the ASUI Senate on April 4.
However, a University of Idaho student-athlete was accused of rape on Nov. 16, 2017 — about four and a half months before Spear's statement. The woman repeated her accusation in three interviews with Moscow Police but the Latah County Prosecutor's Office declined to prosecute and the case was closed Jan.
