Report: BYU officer shared private info with university

Investigative documents accused Brigham Young University police lieutenant of accessing protected information from other Utah law enforcement agencies and sharing that information with school officials.

The records released Thursday by the state Department of Public Safety allege former Lt. Aaron Rhoades examined and distributed information from protected police reports between August 2014 and June 2016.

According to the documents, he shared information with the dean of students office, the Title IX office and the honor code office at the Mormon church-owned university.

Prosecutors declined to file charges against Rhoades.

Rhoades’ attorneys said in a statement that he did not violate any certification standards.

He voluntarily relinquished his police certification in November.

The state Department of Public Safety announced earlier this week that it would decertify the university’s police department.
