Ind. Law - "Stories shift in Notre Dame case: Authorities now say they were informed of sex assault allegation"

Updating yesterday's ILB entry, which quoted a South Bend Tribune story headed "Police knew of assault report: Spokesman says earlier comments wrong: County was aware of Saint Mary's student's allegation against Notre Dame student," Stacy St. Clair reports in today's Chicago Tribune in a story that begins:

The circumstances surrounding the Notre Dame police department's investigation into an alleged sexual attack by a football player have become more muddled as two Indiana law-enforcement agencies this week abruptly changed their accounts of contacts with campus police.

The shifting stories raise new questions about how different jurisdictions were communicating with each other and how much urgency was brought to the case.
