Former Auburn staffer faces felony charges for allegedly stealing and sharing trade secrets
Auburn, Alabama (AP) — A 24-year-old former Auburn staffer, David Rudolph Jenrath, has been arrested and charged with two felonies for allegedly stealing trade secrets from the football program and sharing them with competitors. Jenrath turned himself in on Monday and is currently being held on a $15,000 bond at the Lee County Jail in Auburn.
The allegations were reported by the Auburn Police Department, who stated that a business reported sensitive information had been stolen from them and distributed to their competitors. It is unclear which schools were the recipients of the stolen information. Jenrath's LinkedIn profile, which has since been removed, indicated he worked as a player personnel scouting assistant in the Auburn football program, focusing on running backs and special teams from January to June.
His profile stated he was also a student of applied artificial intelligence and sports analytics at the University of Tennessee.
