Newly public police-worn body camera footage from a hazing case at a University of Iowa fraternity show over two dozen blindfolded men covered in substances in a basement, over a year after the initial incident.
Iowa City police and fire departments and the University of Iowa police responded to a fire alarm at the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity house on Nov. 15, 2024, where they discovered 56 blindfolded pledges, with food thrown on them.
The university investigated the incident and ultimately suspended the fraternity for four years until 2029.
Here's what we know about the recently released footage and the hazing case.
In edited footage posted to YouTube by The CrimePiece, which has more than 630,000 views, police and firefighters are seen responding to the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity house. The Iowa City Press-Citizen, part of the USA TODAY Network, also obtained the same unedited body-cam footage from the University of Iowa Police Department.
