U.S. prosecutors reopen investigation into Cornell University gang rape allegation

The prosecutor of Tompkins County, New York, USA announced the reopening of a criminal investigation into the 2024 Cornell University Chi Phi fraternity sexual assault case, which had previously been dismissed due to insufficient evidence. The victim, Jane Doe, had alleged in a civil lawsuit that she was drugged and gang-raped by seven men, but prosecutors said her earlier sworn statement did not mention drugging or multiple rapes, describing it as consensual sober sex. Lawyers explained that the victim's trauma reaction led to inconsistencies in the statement and questioned the prosecutor's defensive posture.
