Body camera footage from a fraternity basement at the University of Iowa is spreading rapidly online, surpassing 10 million views as of February 18.
The video captures the moment Iowa City and University of Iowa police responded to a fire alarm at the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity house in the early hours of November 15, 2024, only to discover what one judge would later describe as a “disturbing scene.”
Authorities found 56 pledges blindfolded in the basement, shirtless and covered in substances later described in court records as “ketchup, mustard and alcohol.”
