检方重新启动了对康奈尔大学一名学生2024年报案称自己在兄弟会会舍遭强奸一案的调查,这也引发了外界对执法部门和学校当初对此案处理的质疑。

两周前,这名学生——在诉讼中以“无名氏”代称——起诉了七名男子、康奈尔大学、她所在的姐妹会以及涉事兄弟会,她的指控因此再次浮出水面。此案在网上引发激烈争论,也让大学校园性侵这一长期存在的问题再度受到关注。

纽约州汤普金斯县(康奈尔大学位于该县的伊萨卡市)地方检察官表示,他会考虑将案件提交大陪审团。而在2024年,也就是这名学生报案后不久,他曾决定不这样做。

以下是我们目前了解到的康奈尔大学这起案件的相关情况。

关于“无名氏”的情况

由于她在诉讼中匿名,关于她生活的大部分细节都不为人知。她的律师说,她来自一个距离康奈尔大学约1600公里的小镇。她于2022年8月进入康奈尔大学读本科,在2024年声称自己遭到强奸后退学。当时她20岁,是Tri-Delta姐妹会成员。

律师说,她目前仍在应对事件带来的后续影响,也没有继续上大学。

诉讼对事情经过的描述

根据诉讼,2024年10月19日,这名女子在纽约州伊萨卡的Chi Phi兄弟会会舍内多次遭到强奸,持续了近七个小时。

诉讼称,她当晚先在姐妹会会舍喝了伏特加。晚上8点30分左右,她乘Uber前往姐妹会在某酒吧举办的一场活动。虽然保镖正确识别出她未达法定饮酒年龄,但她声称,自己仍被提供了至少一杯酒精饮料。到晚上11点左右,她决定步行约1.6公里前往Chi Phi兄弟会会舍,去见一名她视为朋友的男子。

诉讼称,她抵达后,那名男子和他的兄弟会兄弟给了她啤酒、大麻、朗姆酒和氯胺酮(俗称K粉)。她在诉讼中称,自己以前从未用过K粉,是被迫吸食的。诉讼随后详细描述了一系列性侵行为,以及她与这名朋友和其他六名男子持续使用毒品的情况。

诉讼所附的一张截图显示,凌晨1点42分左右,其中一名男子在Chi Phi兄弟会的 Snapchat群组里发消息邀其他人加入,并使用了女性生殖器的粗俗称呼。

警方的回应

在朋友们的鼓励下,“无名氏”于2024年11月8日向康奈尔大学警察局报案。

康奈尔警方向校园发布犯罪警报,称一名受害者报告自己在兄弟会会舍“遭多名男性性侵,并被强迫吸食氯胺酮和其他毒品”。在那个感恩节前发给校园的信息中,康奈尔校长表示,大学警察局正在继续刑事调查,同时针对这些指控的第二项行政调查也在进行中。

当月某个时候,康奈尔警方要求汤普金斯县地方检察官办公室审查“无名氏”的一份陈述。刑事调查人员告知警方,他们认为根据纽约州法律,仅凭这份陈述无法提起刑事指控。“无名氏”的律师说,她作出最初陈述后,再也没有任何警察或刑事调查人员联系过她。

目前尚不清楚警方是否讯问过涉案男子,也不清楚“无名氏”是否曾被告知,她的刑事案件不会继续推进。

周一,地方检察官表示——他目前只公布了“无名氏”最初那份六页陈述中的部分内容——该陈述没有明确表明她是被迫发生性行为的,也没有明确表明她当时已丧失行为能力,尽管她当时确实受到毒品和酒精影响。

康奈尔大学当时的回应

诉讼称,校方立即对涉事兄弟会以及她在诉讼中点名的七名男子作出临时停学处理。

与此同时,康奈尔大学依据《教育法修正案第九条》开展的校内行政程序也随即启动,以决定是否应对这些被指控的男子作出处分。根据这名女子的诉讼,2025年5月,由教职员工组成的一个审议小组举行了至少12场听证。

诉讼称,被告男子“获得了通过向康奈尔提交书面材料来减轻其行为后果的机会”。康奈尔并不否认这些书面材料——校方称之为检讨——是小组决定对部分男子实施的处罚之一。但校方周一表示,对于任何一个当事人来说,这并非唯一的处分。

康奈尔大学以学生隐私规定为由,拒绝透露对这些男子各自的具体处分。校方周一表示,对他们采取了“一系列处分措施,其中包括开除和停学”。代表“无名氏”的律师托马斯·朱弗拉在采访中称,只有两名男子被开除,而他的当事人认为正义并未得到伸张。

A 44-year-old man surnamed Huang in Sanchong District, New Taipei City, was arrested by the police and detained by the court on suspicion of improper discipline of his underage children because he stole his brother's toys and forced her to parade barefoot and hang humiliating cardboard. Mayor Hou Youyi said that his daughter has been placed by the government, while his son is being taken care of by relatives and friends, and their education is ensured to be stable. The Social Affairs Bureau evaluated the case and issued a protection order in June last year, but the father still committed humiliating behavior again recently.

On August 8, Weng mistakenly believed that he wanted to remit 500,000 yuan for AI investment, but the police and bank teamed up to dissuade him.

An 80-year-old man named Li in Taipei City believed in an AI high-tech investment introduced by a friend and wanted to remit 500,000 yuan to the friend for investment. The bank clerk noticed something unusual and reported it to the police. When the police arrived, they found that the old man did not understand the investment content. The investment company had only 100,000 yuan in capital and it had only been established for a short time. After being discouraged by three parties from the police and bank family, the old man gave up the remittance and successfully avoided fraud losses.
