Wisconsin-Madison officials shocked by sex case
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Top athletic officials at the University of  Wisconsin-Madison were shocked when allegations of sexual impropriety  surfaced against a then-assistant athletic director, according to an  investigative report released Friday.       Athletic director  Barry Alvarez and coach Bret Bielema never had reason to suspect John  Chadima of sexual impropriety, abuse of power or alcohol abuse, the  report quoted them as saying.
       Chadima was suspended and  resigned in January after a male student employee accused him of sexual  assault at a pre-Rose Bowl party in December. Friday's report details  similar allegations from two more people -- a former Wisconsin football  player and another former male student worker.
       The report  was the second from former Dane County Circuit Judge Patrick Fiedler.  Both detail allegations of Chadima fondling males and making sexually  suggestive comments. He has not been charged with a crime and Dane  County district attorney Ismael Ozanne said to his knowledge,  investigators had not referred a request for charges to his office.
       Chadima  was with the university for about 20 years, in roles that included  managing capital projects and supervising staff members. He also served  as the school's director of football operations from 1990 to 1997 and  again from 2000 to 2003.
       Chadima's troubles began after a  male student employee accused him of putting his hand inside the  student's pants and touching his genitals. Fiedler's first report said  Chadima provided alcohol purchased with university athletic department  gift funds. Some of the people at the party were under the legal  drinking age.
       After that report was released, two other people came forward with similar allegations.
