Story summary

In October 2024, a woman at Cornell University filed a lawsuit against seven fraternity members and the university itself, accusing them of gang-raping her while she was under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Known only as Jane Doe in court documents, she is using New York's legal provision that allows anonymity for sexual assault victims. However, some online users are attempting to uncover her identity, leading to harassment and threats against her. In response, women across social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Threads have started declaring themselves as Jane Doe in solidarity with the accuser, sharing their own experiences of sexual assault to protect her anonymity and support her case. This movement is reminiscent of the #MeToo era, aiming to amplify voices against sexual violence and encourage more people to come forward without fear of stigma or retaliation.
