a sex assault scandal at a texas university was far worse than previously disclosed. "60 minutes sports" has learned since 2011, 17 female students at baylor university reported sexual or domestic assault charges against 19 baylor football players, including at least four alleged gang rapes. correspondent armen keteyian has been investigating since may. >> reporter: our investigation revealed that senior vice president in charge of campus safety often clashed with the university's former title ix coordinator. she says she couldn't get police reports, including one for a baylor student who claimed she was gang raped. the gang rape allegedly involved football players tre'von armstead and shamychael chapman in 2013.

baylor university was contacted about the incident. criminal charges were never filed against either player. armen keteyian. >> nice to meet you, sir. >> reporter: reagan ramsower said the baylor campus police department he oversees had a history of burying sexual assault complaints that came to them. here it is. you notice here, baylor university was contacted as part and parcel of the investigation of this incident report. nothing ever happened for well over a year. i'm just wondering what happened there. was there an investigation, and if not, why not? you have a police report. >> there was a police report. i suppose it stayed with the police department. it never came out of the police department. that was a significant failure to respond by our police department. there's no doubt about it. >> reporter: victim blaming would be one answer. the other answer is protecting the football team and protecting that brand.

i really think that it was probably feeling like -- i don't know what was said if they did talk to the victim. >> reporter: they did talk to the victim. there is no question. it's a detailed police report. >> right. there was a title ix case that was opened up. we opened that up. and that was when i learned about it. and at that time we took the appropriate actions and eventually he was found responsible. >> reporter: eventually he was, but 01 was all-big 12 tight end. >> that would be true. >> reporter: patty crawford has years of experience investigating sexual assaults, but nothing, she said, prepared her for baylor. in your mind, who is responsible? was it institutional failure right up to the highest levels of baylor, and i'm including the board of regents? >> absolutely. there were a lot of people like me at the university that did not want these things happening

they didn't have the power or the authority, and they were not heard. that is institutional. what drives a culture? it's the top. and that was the hardest thing for me to come to grips with, was after all of this, this report's released, after all of this, the discrimination became so clear, even against me. that's power and that's control. what is rape about? power and control. >> reporter: baylor prides itself on its christian values and creating a caring community, but our investigation found a culture where victims who came forward found themselves blamed for violating the university's code of conduct which prohibits drinking and premarital sex. >> you can see the full report on "60 minutes sports" that airs tonight on showtime, a division

a state with the most experience in the legal weed business is colorado. dr. jon lapook went there to see what's working and what's not in a story for "60 minutes." >> reporter: this county in southern colorado has been called the napa valley of cannabis for a reason. no community has felt the impact of legalization more powerfully than pueblo. a former steel town of 160,000 residents, it is now home to over 90 pot growing facilities. marijuana in america, and it goes on as far as the eye can see. this is enormous. how big is this? >> we have 36 acres here, and there's 21,600 plants between all the four licenses. >> reporter: 21,600, that's a lot of plants. bob degabriel is a founder, which he runs with his son, catch.

carolina. now he owns the largest recreational cultivation facility in the country. how did you get into the marijuana business? >> came out and looked at it from an investment standpoint. then just decided to stay out here, realized that colorado was the epicenter of what was happening in the industry. >> reporter: bob and his partners have invested $10 million in colorado's tightly regulated industry, which requires that every plant grown outfitted with a radio frequency tag, and tracked from seed to sale. this is high-tech, high security retail cultivation, where 289 cameras track every plant, and 22,000 pounds of marijuana are harvested a year, then cured in barrels like wine. where does it go from here? >> from here, it will go through our trimming machines and we'll trim it. >> reporter: and it will be inspected by the state for

they're on track to rake in about $20 million a year in this budding industry. and they say it's being very good for pueblo county, too. >> in so many ways. it's been an economic windfall for the community. >> reporter: marijuana has created 1300 jobs and more than 60 businesses in pueblo. there are 85 employees at the farm and they all have to pass background checks and be while five u.s. states will have legalization of marijuana on the ballot, this county in colorado is considering restricting it. on election day, voters in pueblo will decide whether the county should opt out of production and sale of recreational pot. that would force this farm out of business within a year. how would that affect you financially? >> oh, it would be devastating in terms of the amount of money

>> making it illegal here just means you have to drive to the next county to purchase it. >> reporter: when recreational marijuana was legalized in colorado, most counties chose not to allow the production or sale of it. pueblo did, and there have been both profits and problems ever since. >> it's affecting the emergency room. it's affecting the operating room. it's affecting just about every aspect of medicine that you can think of. >> reporter: dr. steven simmerville and medical director of the newborn intensive care unit. he supports the ballot initiative to ban recreational pot, in part because he says he's noticed more babies being born with marijuana in their system. his observations are anecdotal, but he's concerned by what he's seen in his own hospital. in the first nine months of this year, 27 babies born at this hospital tested positive for thc, the psychoactive ingredient

higher than last year. when was the last time you took care of a baby that tested positive for marijuana? >> i have babies on the unit right now. >> reporter: when were they born? >> all of them were within a week. >> reporter: what does the mother say when you say your baby just tested positive for marijuana? and it can possibly harm the baby. what does the mother say? >> they are not surprised that they tested positive. obviously they know they've been smoking marijuana. but they're in disbelief that it's harmful. will be harmful, it's a legal drug. >> reporter: he says that's a common misperception. especially because 25 states have approved marijuana for medical use, for conditions like epilepsy, pain, and stimulation of appetite. but on the federal level, it's still illegal. today's pot is on average four to five times stronger than it was in the 1980s. it can also get passed on to babies in high concentrations in breast milk. >> i try to explain to them even

much, the baby is getting seven times more than you're taking. and that this drug has been shown to cause harm in developing brains. >> reporter: research suggest babies exposed to marijuana in utero may develop behavior problems during early childhood. >> you need to protect the babies and protect teenagers. and by teeners, with developing brains, you have to keep in mind that marijuana potentially perman or 30. >> reporter: in the first ten months of this year, 71 teenagers came into this emergency room at this hospital with marijuana in their system, which is on track to be about 70% higher than last year. that worries him, because evidence is emerging that heavy teenage use, using four to five days a week, may be linked to long-term damage in areas of the brain that help control cognitive functions like attention, memory, and decision making.

for the developing brain, which may still be maturing during the mid to late 20s. law enforcement officers in pueblo county believe they too are seeing more marijuana related problems. >> they said the black market will disappear. well, i can tell you the black market is alive and well and thriving. in fact, it's exploding. >> reporter: you're used to see thing much marijuana. i am not. >> usually it's indoors. >> reporter: sheriff curt taylor problem known as illegal home growth. criminal organizations are coming to colorado to grow marijuana illegally for out of state diversion. sheriff taylor says they had one to two busts a year before recreational marijuana was legalized. in the last six months, they've had 36. who is behind the illegal growth? >> different groups of folks. cuban nationals from florida. we busted russians from new york. the pattern that they've shown here in the last six months is

home or series of homes and set up grows in those homes, whether it be in the garages and the out buildings, very sophisticated. they're hot tapping into the existing electrical grids. >> reporter: we were with sheriff taylor as s.w.a.t. team members and federal drug enforcement agents gathered before dawn to stage one of the largest illegal home grow busts in the country. >> if you guys aren't familiar, this is a huge operation. five counties involved, about seven different agencies. >> reporter: more than 150 different agents armed with 13 search warrants were preparing for a coordinated strike. the target was a drug cartel from southeast asia, suspected of converting ten rental homes into grow operations that are hiding in plain sight. >> so the feeling is, this is organized crime here? >> absolutely. >> reporter: this is not a one or two-person operation? >> no. this is not a mom and pop, let's grow a little weed.

a collaboration between two best friends to make a bloody zombie movie is making people smile. steve hartman met the filmmakers on the road. >> reporter: if you want to know how to be a great skateboarder, mattie is not your man. >> the point is to cruise on the board. >> reporter: sam won't into the x-games either. but if you want to know how to form a perfect friendship, these two young men from rhode island, both with down syndrome, can tell you all you need to know. >> i just care about mattie. he's everything i wish i was. >> to me he's like a brother. >> reporter: sam and mattie met about ten years ago. they were in special olympics together, and have been like two peas in a tub ever since. for the past few years, one of their favorite activities has

movie, a zombie movie, which their families, at first, didn't give a second thought. >> it seemed like another phase, like any other phase. >> reporter: just a fantasy. >> it kept coming up. it kept coming up. >> reporter: sam's brother jessie noticed they were doing the same scenes over and over. so he did some prying and found this notebook, where sam had story boarded an entire feature length film. what were you thinking as you're reading through this? >> i can't believe how good this is. i think that is when i realized they had put so much work and heart into this, that it had to happen. >> reporter: this was the new york premiere. after raising $70,000 on kickstarter, sam and mattie's movie actually came to life. or death, as the case may be. it's called "spring break zombie massacre," and sam and mattie wrote every word of the dialogue.

it's really gross in parts, terribly offensive in others and completely ludicrous throughout. >> guess what, guys? >> we got jet packs. >> reporter: in other words, it's destined to become a halloween cult classic. >> i don't do it for game, i do it because i love it. >> i do it f money? >> yeah. >> reporter: have you got rich on this so far? >> not yet. >> we will in the sequel. it will be based on a tragedy. >> reporter: a tragedy worse than zombies taking over the world? i'm sure you'll make it work. i can't wait to see it. >> this is the final plot. >> reporter: genius has never been more genuine. steve hartman, on the road, in providence, rhode island. >> that's the "overnight news" for this tuesday. for some of you, the news continues.

little later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from the york city, i'm demarco morgan. ? ? this is the "cbs overnight news." the fbi's new e-mail investigation has hillary clinton on defense, but her supporters in closely fought states remain with her. the cbs news poll, democrats in those states told us the investigation did not change their minds about voting for her. only 5% said that it did. last week, fbi director james comey reopened the investigation into whether clinton had mishandled classified information on her personal, unsecured e-mail server. in that original investigation, some classified material was found, but no charges were filed.

a laptop that the fbi didn't know about. agents stumbled across it in an unrelated investigation of anthony weiner, the estranged husband of clinton's top aide, huma abedin. nancy cordes begins our coverage. >> i'm sure a lot of you may be asking what this new e-mail story is about. >> reporter: clinton doesn't typically bring up her e-mails, but in cleveland today, she was eager to show she has nothing to hide. >> and i am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my e-mails for the last year. there is no case here. >> reporter: she did not go after the fbi director. there were enough democrats doing that for her. former attorney general eric holder said james comey committed a serious error and senate minority leader harry reid claimed that comey may have violated the law by resurrecting the clinton investigation 11 days before the election.

karl rove and senator chuck grassley criticized comey's vague letter to congress, in which he acknowledged that huma abedin's newly discovered e-mails may or may not be significant. grassley wrote to comey today, "without additional context, your disclosure is not fair to congress, the american people, or secretary clinton." >> i am running against a man who says he doesn't understand why we can't use nuclear weapons. >> reporter: clinton's numbers trump. so today she hammered away at his character, recounting an interview he did on 9/11. >> he couldn't stop himself from pointing out that now, because the towers had fallen, a building he owned was the tallest in lower manhattan. >> before the world trade center was the tallest. when they built the world trade center, it became known as the second tallest. now it's the tallest.

>> reporter: this evening clinton's top aides are accusing the fbi director of what they call an astonishing double standard. they say he's sewing confusion about clinton but staying quiet about reported investigations between ties to trump's association with russia. scott? >> nancy cordes, thanks. late today, in letters to congress, the justice department said it is dedicating all necessary resources to the investigation and taking appropriate sts expeditiously as possible. jeff pegues has been talking to his sources about the fbi investigation. >> reporter: the fbi has built a software program that is scrubbing what could be hundreds of thousands of e-mails found on anthony weiner's laptop. investigators have already seen the subject, date, and time of the e-mails, but the software will isolate messages that may be relevant to the clinton server investigation.

they've already seen and search for those that came from clinton or those that may contain classified information. then agents will manually go through those e-mails. janice fedarcyk is a former assistant director of the fbi is it going to take time? >> i think this will be an extended process, given the sheer volume of e-mails and then any follow-up investigations, additional warrants, subpoenas, interviews, re-interviews. >> reporter: fbi agents in new york discovered the new e-mails earlier in october while investigating weiner for allegedly sending sexually explicit text messages to a minor. still unanswered is why director comey was not informed about the new e-mails until late last week. also unclear is how abedin's e-mails ended up on her husband's laptop and whether they will change the outcome of the investigation, in which comey recommended that mrs. clinton not be prosecuted for mishandling classified information. sources say that comey felt

of the revelation put him at odds with the attorney general. it sounds like you don't expect them to rush it to get it done by election day. >> i do not honestly think they will rush an investigation of this nature and this sensitivity. >> reporter: part of the delay was in securing a warrant to look at those e-mails. we learned today that there was friction between comey and the justice department. scott, attorney general loretta lynch felt that getting a search an election violated department policy. comey got one anyway. >> jeff pegues for us in the washington newsroom. jeff, thank you. clinton's lead in the nationwide popular vote has narrowed to just over three points in an average of major polls. trump has opened tiny leads in the battleground states of ohio and florida, but clinton still leads by hefty margins elsewhere, including virginia

garrett found donald trump today. >> if hillary is elected, she would be under protracted criminal investigation likely followed by the trial of a sitting president. this is just... hey, this is just what we need. >> reporter: donald trump came to michigan hoping the fbi's renewed e-mail investigation can jump-start his campaign here, where three polls in the past week show him trailing by at least seven points. >> the investigation will last for years. nothing will get done. government will grind to a halt. >> reporter: trump's campaign believes independent voters and non-trump republicans fear a clinton presidency beset by endless investigations or worse. trump advisers said, "we'll pound the message in the coming days." in grand rapids, trump said america's enemies will scoff at hillary clinton. >> all of these people will sit back, and they will laugh and they will smile. >> reporter: and as democratic criticism of fbi director james

the defense of a figure he used to vilify. >> i was not his fan, but i'll tell you what, what he did, he brought back his reputation. he brought it back. he's got to hang tough, because there's a lot of people want him to do the wrong thing. what he did was the right thing. >> reporter: by "right thing," trump means recover lost clinton e-mails, but, scott, according to "newsweek," trump the businessman has systematically destroyed e-mails and documents to either delay or frustrate the lawsuits filed against his businesses. >> major garrett, thanks.

pennsylvania is another state where clinton is holding a lead. in our battleground tracker poll, she's up 48% to 40%. jim axelrod has been listening to voters there as the candidates make their closing arguments. >> reporter: for these coal miners in western pennsylvania, the commute to work takes them two s feet beneath. as dark and dusty as they find it making a buck, miners like joe somogyi, todd reisman and dave schrecengost have crystal clarity when it comes to this election. who are you voting for? >> donald trump. >> reporter: who are you voting for? >> donald trump. >> donald trump. >> reporter: no question? >> no question. >> no question. >> reporter: and you're going to

and i love my job in the coal mine. >> i feel she's a cookie cutter of the obama administration. it's not working for middle class, working americans. >> reporter: in the mines, hillary clinton never had a chance. >> because we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business, right, tim? and we're going the make it clear that we don't want to forget those people. >> reporter: after todd reisman heard the first part, the second didn't matter. at 46, he's casting his first vote ever for president. what was it about this guy that got you to come out, register and vote? >> well, it's important for me and my family. i have a son that works in the mines. i think we're on the brink. the working man, the working class man is going to be in extinction. >> reporter: but look elsewhere in this part of the country, and

rock solid. >> there is such a world of difference. >> reporter: 23-year-old cameron linton was a delegate to the gop convention. you're a serious republican. >> i am. >> reporter: how can you not be supporting your party's nominee? >> he just doesn't have it. he's had a year to act like a professional, classy nominee, and he hasn't done that. >> this election is one of the most difficult decisions i've ever had to make. >> reporter: tim nerozzi is president of the young republicans at the university of pittsburgh >> it's disheartening, but i do have hope that our party will bounce back and hopefully this will be the medicine that we need as a nation to kind of cleanse the palette and start over again and say, that didn't work. what can we do better? >> reporter: back in coal country, none of the miners are holding their nose and voting for trump. they are proud to pull the lever for him. if you had to frame it up, you voted for donald trump because...

>> change. >> change. >> reporter: i thought that was the last guy's motto. >> didn't work out too well. >> didn't work out. >> reporter: as for those two unhappy young republicans, cameron linton, the convention delegate, says it's conceivable he will vote for clinton but unlikely. tim nerozzi says he could never do that, and he will likely vote for donald trump. >> jim axelrod, thank you. tomorrow we'll hear fr the buckeye state has voted for the winning presidential candidate in 17 of the last 18 elections. so we'll be bringing you the "cbs evening news" from ohio tomorrow night. michael vance lived a violent life, and he died violently in oklahoma last night in a gun battle with law enforcement. david begnaud reports on the end of a week-long manhunt.
