According to a warning notice from the college, USU Police is currently investigating the three cases.

He also told 2News that there were about 6,000 people at the event, with 40 officers present and trained 150 student volunteers on things to look for in regards to assault. Vitale could not confirm if the three victims were USU students at this time.
