The Cornell University on Monday called the alleged victim of a fraternity gang rape “irresponsible” for implying that the accused were exonerated by merely having them write a punishment essay.
Cornell University case: All on alleged gang rape victim’s lawsuit
Later, a number of male students showed up, and the complaint states that seven of them assaulted Doe for hours. The plaintiff, Jane Doe, claims the assault happened in October 2024 at Cornell’s Chi Phi fraternity house in Ithaca, New York, in a 101-page civil complaint filed on September 14 in the New York County Supreme Court. The UK Independent was able to obtain the documents, which show that Jane Doe was a member of a sorority on campus at the age of 20.
Two male students coerced her into snorting what they claimed to be ketamine while she was intoxicated and visiting a friend at the house, according to the lawsuit. One of the men sent a message to the fraternity’s active Snapchat group chat following an initial sexual assault, offering “free p****” and enticing other members to join, according to the lawsuit.
Cornell defends disciplinary actions in fraternity ‘rape case’
Cornell now acknowledges that some of the men were expelled, but it still won’t say how many of the seven student defendants were actually expelled as opposed to temporarily suspended, or whether any of the alleged creeps are still enrolled in classes. After the DA first declined to file charges against her alleged rapists, the accuser filed a civil lawsuit against them.
An internal disciplinary panel’s investigation resulted in the suspension and expulsion of some of the frat brothers, according to the statement.
