Does Wisconsin Volleyball Team Illegal Leaked Reddit Video Stop Winners?

Wisconsin Volleyball Team Illegal Leaked Reddit explicit images and video doesn’t stop winners.

 

Newsonline earlier reported that the women’s volleyball team from the University of Wisconsin-Madison were all over social media and made many news headlines last week, but not for the sporting reasons they’d have wanted. The team, nicknamed the Badgers, had been successful on court, winning the 2021 Big 10 championship last November. But the recent coverage was a lot more sinister, as photos and video that is believed to have been captured during those title celebrations were leaked online, including explicit images and footage which was not intended to be circulated to the wider public.

The organisation released the following statement:

‘We are aware that private photos and video of UW volleyball student-athletes that were never intended to be shared publicly are being circulated digitally. The unauthorized sharing is a significant and wrongful invasion of the student-athletes’ privacy, including potential violations of university policies and criminal statutes. When the student-athletes became aware of the circulating photos, they contacted the UW-Madison Police Department.
