CASE RECORD · REVIEWED 5 OCTOBER 2026
The criminal investigation has new leadership.
The governor appointed the Attorney General’s office as special prosecutor for the alleged October 2024 assault. Any prosecution or grand-jury presentation must be warranted by the investigation. This is a case-wide development; no individual charge, conviction or sanction is inferred for Scott Kretzschmar.
Appointment entry added 2 October; case-wide record reviewed 5 October 2026. The civil complaint and criminal process remain separate. Read the latest source-linked bulletin, including reporting that is not assigned to a named individual.
UNIVERSITY OUTCOME · REPORTED OCTOBER 2026
Reported administrative outcome
Reported attempted-sexual-exploitation finding, not sexual assault; no-contact order, education modules and reflection papers.
University responsibility and sanctions are separate from criminal guilt. These outcomes are attributed to published reporting; this archive did not independently obtain the complete disciplinary files.
The Sun reports counsel disputes his knowledge and involvement, and identifies his challenge to the lesser finding. Separate CNY reporting, retaining John Doe, describes a September procedural dismissal and a pending appeal. The court did not independently decide the alleged conduct.
