Newly obtained texts in a Snapchat group chat between members of Phi Chi fraternity at Cornell University reveal messages referring to the alleged gang rape of a female student as an open "shop" and offering "free p–sy," or drugs, upstairs. The messages were sent on the night of October 2024 when Jane Doe claimed she was drugged and sexually assaulted by seven students in the fraternity house. Among those named are Matthew Ingalls, Jonathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris, and Scott Kretzschmar. A lawyer for Kretzschmar disputes his client’s involvement, presenting a hair follicle test showing no ketamine in Kretzschmar's system, though this has not been independently verified.

Story summary
In October 2024, Jane Doe, a Cornell University student, filed a civil lawsuit alleging that she was gang-raped by seven fraternity members at an October party. This incident sparked widespread outrage and soul-searching on the campus in Ithaca, New York, leading to a public hearing organized by Cornell's Student Assembly on Thursday. Over 100 students, faculty, and family members gathered to criticize the university’s handling of sexual assault cases and express anger over fraternity culture. Speakers shared their own experiences with sexual violence and called for changes in the Title IX process. One student, Jane Wang, revealed she had also reported a sexual assault but was disappointed by the school's response. Despite Cornell defending its investigation and imposing sanctions on involved students, many felt let down, citing increased rates of unwanted sexual conduct among undergraduate women from 23% to 35%. Meanwhile, an innocent Marine Corps sergeant with the same name as one of the accused was mistakenly targeted online after court papers were incorrectly served to his family.
