I agree too. However, if it appears that someone else is holding the camera - in this case the cell phone - then that person could be considered an accomplice. And if the video shows that the alleged rape took place in the house, then the police and IHQ might feel that the accomplice might be a member. Or that someone in the chapter knows something and hasn't come forward yet. Granted the article didn't say that any of these scenarios is the case. But regardless of the known facts, IHQs tend to err on "the safe risk management side". And in this case, most likely issued a cease-and-desist letter until the investigation is complete and/or the chapter cleared.
