According to the Salt Lake Tribune, in 1998, Ropers' former wife filed for a restraining order against him. N.Y. Ithaca Police are continuing to investigate an alleged rape reported to have happened at a Cornell University fraternity house. Originally, Cornell University Police were notified of the Oct. 28 incident 12 days later, after a relative of the alleged victim came forth. CUPD then conducted an investigation, interviewing the victim but turned the investigation over to Ithaca Police because the crime site is off-campus. Members of the fraternity say that the accusation comes as a major shock, but that no fraternity events took place the weekend of the alleged incident.
