BYU is close to beginning an Honor Code review of the alleged rape between BYU football players and a 17-year-old Provo girl, spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said Tuesday.
'The University has said all along a review would take place,' Jenkins said.
In an Honor Code review, students are referred to counselors to provide information, input and feedback on the situation in question.
The current investigation would address a police report filed Aug. 9, in which a 17-year-old Provo resident claimed BYU football players raped her on Aug. 8 after she drank shots of vodka with them in their apartment.
Jenkins said in any review situation, the Honor Code office gathers information that is reviewed by a committee before a recommendation can be made.
But more than just an Honor Code investigation, Jenkins said BYU is still cooperating with local authorities.
Provo City Police announced Tuesday that they will turn the BYU rape allegation investigation over to the Utah County Attorney''s Office for further review.
The assigned County Attorney will determine whether or not charges should be filed against BYU football players.
