IOWA CITY (AP) - A Johnson County judge has sealed a search warrant filed in an alleged sexual assault at the University of Iowa.

Three football players have been questioned in connection with the alleged assault last month at a campus dormitory. No arrests have been made.

Police and university officials have tighten all information in the case, hoping to avoid a repeat of what happened at Duke University last year when three lacrosse players were accused of rape.

The judge sealed the warrant Thursday from the search that happened on Wednesday at Hillcrest Residence Hall.

Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness says her office is working with state and university investigators. She isn't commenting on possible charges, how soon charges may be filed or how many people may be involved.
