A Michigan man is among seven former or current Cornell University fraternity members accused of sexually assaulting a female student in 2024.
The lawsuit, filed in Tompkins County, New York , on September 16, has also led prosecutors to revisit the case. He is now named as one of seven defendants in a civil lawsuit filed over allegations stemming from October 2024. The civil lawsuit alleges that Kretzchmar and six other Chi Phi members sexually assaulted a female student over several hours on the night of October 19, 2024, and into the morning of October 20.
Scott Kretzchmar, a former Cornell University student from Michigan, is one of seven fraternity members named in a civil lawsuit. Here are five things to know about Kretzchmar, based on the lawsuit, statements from his attorney. He later attended Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he was a member of the Xi chapter of the Chi Phi fraternity. These are allegations made in a civil lawsuit and have not been established as criminal convictions.
The Tompkins County District Attorney has said the criminal investigation is being reopened following the allegations contained in the civil lawsuit.
