alerted and the university sent out an email to students and staff. tim: included in that email were pictures of three persons of interest. one has since been named a suspect and could face charges. jenna: but police don't agree with the release of those pictures. lukas voss has reaction tonight from vermillion. thanks tim and jenna. in fact the university is required under federal law to report and alert students if a sexually related crime occurs on campus. in this case however a picture not intended for publication did end up on social media and several websites. a problem local police is concerned about. vo: when sexual crimes occur on college campuses there is always concern in the community. but even more concern about how an institution is responding. in the university of south dakota's case they released an image showing 3 person's of interest with a warning to their student body. sot: " if we think there is an immediate danger we need to issue the alert. it's disingenius to issue an alert when you know that you have photos of persons of interest and then not use the picture." director of marketing communications and university relations tena haraldson said. vo: university's face
10:01 pm
steep fines under federal law if those alerts are not issued. in usd's case however ... where that picture came from or if there was still a threat when the message was sent out ... is in question sot: " there was no additional danger to the public.in our view. those photos were not part of our investigation and we didn't release them to anybody. later we found out they were facebook photos." vermillion police chief matthew betzen said. vo: according to information from the university the pictures were used by campus police as part of their own investigation. the problem? after it had been sent to the complete student body ... the picture ... including a man that turned out to have no relation at all to the case ... quickly spread on social media. sot: "if sexual assault is the worst thing that can happen to a women probably one of the worst things that can happen to a man is being accused of a crime that he didn't commit." sot: " our intent was never to publish them broadly our intent was to inform our immediate community. they were persons of ineterest i think that's a long way from charging anybody," vo: and because the university clearly labled the picture as person's of interests it's unlikely that they will face legal action because of a possible defamation lawsuit. sot: " you may very well not be a suspect at all. you maybe just a third party witness or you may in fact have no information. in terms of defamation i would't see a viable lawsuit." attorney, anthony osborn said. and while police and
10:02 pm
university disagree on how the case was handled both just want the same thing .... a safe community. and speaking with both parties today the problem really seemed to be that luckily these federal laws often reffered to as title nine rarely occur so knowing how to handle them can be an issue. the university and vermillion police pledged to improve communication and make it easier for everybody to avoid conflicts like the one we just saw. reporting in studio lukas voss abc9 news. tim on cam fresh off tuesday's gop debate carly fiorina is back in iowa... and she's being asked to clarify comments made in milwaukee on tuesday. fiorina met up with about 100 folks at the onawa library this morning. it's the first of 5 stops in western iowa. fiorina's husband "frank" is joining his wife on the campaign trail. it's the first time he's made a western iowa appearance. fiorina took several questions during the hour

long event, including how she plans to hold washington accountable if elected. as for as tuesday's debate where fiorina said quote "obama care isn't helping anyone." we asked the candidate to clariffy her comment. "the question is how much better could we do for people. are we really helping people when we throw them into medicade and fewer and fewer doctors are accepgting medacade paymenst. the truth is how much better could we be doing for people and the answer is a lot better, " said carly fiorina. if elected, the former hewlett packard ceo said she'll push for a zero based budget. meaning every line-item in the budget would be scrutinized, not just proposed increases. jenna: what affect does digital media have on the presidental election? that was one of the topics tackled at the first ever "yahoo conference on technology and politics" today at drake university. high profile elected officials, campaign strategists, tech industry leader, and journalists took part in the panel. they discussed how technology is shaping the democratic process and the relationship between citizens and the
10:04 pm
government. "a head of a major labor union can send out a tweet during a debate, miley cyrus can send out a tweet, right you have no idea. but, anyone in democracy now, can be actively engaged and all use the same hashtag and be seen." out of all the politicians out there-- they say iowa's senator chuck grassley is the best when it comes to twitter. tim: the much- anticipated bakken pipeline hearing took place in boone today. the proposed bakken pipeline will cut through much of iowa, bringing mixed reviews from landowners and environmentalists . so the iowa utlities board heard from dozens of people in favor and against the pipeline. folks only had two minutes each to speak and here is some of what folks had to say. " " the vast majority of landowners affected by this support the project and have given voluntary easements to use power. rick perry. koch brohters. terry branstad. big oil. they win. we lose. people and
10:05 pm
argue that jobs will be created by the pipeline for other temproary and will provide work until the project is complete. i think it's important to take a wider view. a two year project will yield thousands of high paying high skill jobs. pipeline pipeline just say no. dirty oil has got to go. " folks came form all of the counrty to speak at the hearing today jenna: a local hospital is making a push for men to take charge of their health. we're in what is known as "movember"... a month where men are encouraged to grow their facial hair to bring awareness to men's health issues. unitypoint health st. luke's is also using the month to put the spotlight on prostate cancer. it only takes a blood test to screen for the treatable disease. chuck johnson from sioux city says, "no.... it was lucky that i got it because it's a slow moving thing. if i'd have been 80-85 probably wouldn't have done anything, but when your 50 or
10:06 pm
even 60 you hope you have a few years left " one in seven men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. unity point health st. luke's is offering screenings coming at a special event coming up next thursday. that's from four to seven p-m in the hospital atrium. screenings are 33-dollars and you don't have to have an pointment. jenna: businesses in rock valley are purchasingmanufacturing goods from high school students tim: juniors and seniors enrolled in "rocket" manufacturing at rock valley high are earning school credit while bringing in bucks for the business bria bell is here to explain. bria: tim and jenna, rocket manufacturing is a class that began this fall and should not be confused with anything related to actual rockets, but a course that is named after rock valley high that deals with weilding. this is an idea that has become a reality for rock valley
10:07 pm
community superindentent who was inspired at the idea by another school in winsconsin. "power tool noises" a group of 20 students filled with juniors and seniors at rock valley high are enrolled in rocket manufacturing...a weilding business, or class, that is structered to prepare the students for life after high school with skills like, "being able to show up to work on time, being responsible, being able to work in a group in a collabertive environment...those sorts of soft skills," said superintendent chad janzen. not all students have the opportunity to experience this one-of-a-kind setup. students have to submit an application, have no behavioral issues, and make the grades in their studies. "it's awesome here! we come to school and look forward to this class. some people may not get the best grades, but get the good grades to be in this class," said schulze. the student-run business has had much success during their first go-round this fall as they are already on project number 27. but like all businesses, nothing would ever be possible without an accountant...a role in which the teachers created to make it as geniunly business like as possible. "i do what other people have told me is a three person job, but i enjoy doing it and i hope it picks up more," said anibal marez. industrial technology teacher todd vandervelde says he would like to see the rock valley grow by the
10:08 pm
hands of its natives with the help of the class. "there's a lot of industry in the community and we want to prepare these kids for a future where they could possibly stay," said vandervelde. the students are not actually paid for their services as money received goes back to the program for funding, but the tools that they're learning are invaluable. bria: money that's gone into helping build the class has come from two seperate tax programs. rock valley's superindent says that one day he hopes that students will be able to get ther diploma along with a degree in weilding from northwest iowa community college. live in studio, bria bell abc 9 news. tim:
