US prosecutors revisit Cornell rape case
New York prosecutors have announced they will reopen a criminal investigation into an alleged gang rape at Cornell University that took place in 2024. The woman involved, who filed a civil lawsuit in September, claims she was drugged and assaulted by seven fraternity members, with evidence suggesting she was intoxicated and unable to consent. The district attorney indicated that a grand jury will evaluate the evidence to determine whether charges should be filed, following previous inquiries that concluded the evidence did not meet legal thresholds. Cornell University stated it had taken disciplinary action against some students involved, including suspensions and expulsions, and emphasized its efforts to address the incident.
