Multiple reports, including the East Baton Rouge DA's own statement as relayed by WAFB, The Advertiser, The Advocate and The Reveille, say the matter was brought to the DA's Office for review on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, which was a Tuesday. The claim departs from the passage only in wording; the passage's date and subject match the claim.
What we found
Supports. WAFB reports that DA Hillar Moore confirmed a criminal investigation and that the matter was first brought to the District Attorney's Office for review on Tuesday, which was September 22, 2026.[1]
Supports. The Advertiser reports the DA's office released a statement that the matter was brought to its attention for review for the first time on Sept. 22.[2]
Supports. The Advocate reports that Moore said his office was opening an investigation into the rape allegation after a criminal complaint was filed, and the Reveille reports the DA's criminal investigation opened on Tuesday.[3][4]
Context. Some reports describe the matter as an alleged sexual assault rather than a rape, and the criminal complaint is tied to the student's allegations, which are not yet adjudicated; the claim is about the filing, not the allegation's truth.[5][6]
