It was unclear Wednesday whether a special prosecutor would be appointed to look at an alleged sexual assault in the summer of 2000 involving a University of Colorado football recruit.

A woman who said she was raped after a high school graduation party had asked that Arapahoe County District Attorney Carol Chambers recuse her office from the case. The woman, according to her attorney, did not trust Chambers' office to re-evaluate the case.

No charges were filed in the incident originally, in part because the victim was reluctant to cooperate. Her father was ill at the time, and he subsequently died. The woman recently asked that the case be re-examined and prosecuted.

Chambers asked the Denver District Attorney's Office to appoint a special prosecutor in the case.

But every other district attorney's office in the Denver area also has a conflict of interest in the case, and Denver officials sent the request back to Chambers and asked her to determine the next step.

Kathleen Walsh, a spokeswoman for Chambers, said Wednesday evening that no decision had been made.
