Story summary

A woman identified as "Jane Doe" has been threatened after filing a civil lawsuit against seven members of Cornell University's Chi Phi fraternity, Cornell University, and the fraternity itself, alleging she was drugged and sexually assaulted in October 2024. Her lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, told CNN that she received multiple threats to withdraw her lawsuit. Giuffra also faced similar threats aimed at silencing him. The case has raised questions about the university's handling of sexual assault cases and the actions of local prosecutors who initially declined to pursue criminal charges despite extensive evidence collected by campus police. Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff responded with a promise to review the role of fraternities and sororities on campus. Social media campaigns have rallied support for Jane Doe, but also exposed her identity to further threats and harassment online.
