What we know about Cornell University frat house rape investigation
47 minutes ago

New York state prosecutors have reopened an investigation into the alleged rape of a woman at Cornell University in 2024.
The woman filed a civil lawsuit against the Ivy League university on 16 September alleging she was drugged and raped at a fraternity house at the university.
She also alleged that Cornell failed to protect her or adequately punish the men involved.
The men have been dubbed the "Cornell Seven" and the woman was identified as Jane Doe in court filings.
Cornell has said it supported presenting the case to a grand jury, while rejecting as "false" claims that it failed to punish those involved.
In a 101-page civil lawsuit, the woman alleged that on the night of 19 October 2024, seven men from Cornell's Chi Phi fraternity chapter allegedly assaulted her for hours in an incident involving alcohol and the drug ketamine.
She was a 20-year-old Cornell undergraduate at the time.
Jane Doe said in her lawsuit that she was intoxicated during the alleged incident and incapable of providing consent.
