The woman at the center of rape allegations against Cornell University students has faced threats from individuals who want her to withdraw her lawsuit, according to her lawyer Thomas Giuffra. The lawyer reported receiving threats as well and criticized those threatening parties for trying to suppress the case. Cornell’s president announced plans to review the role of fraternities on campus in response to criticism over how the university handled the allegations.

Story summary
A 20-year-old Cornell University student, identified as Jane Doe, filed a lawsuit in New York alleging she was drugged and gang-raped by seven fraternity members at the Chi Phi house in Ithaca, New York, on October 19, 2024. According to her lawyer, Thomas Giuffre, Doe claims that after drinking heavily around campus, two men pressured her into taking ketamine before sexually assaulting her; one of them then messaged a fraternity Snapchat group about "free p**y," inviting more members to join the assault. Despite an initial investigation by the Tompkins County District Attorney's Office (DCAO), no criminal charges were filed at that time, although the university expelled two students and imposed lesser sanctions on others. However, after Doe’s lawsuit drew public attention, the DCAO announced it would reopen the case to examine new evidence potentially available now, presenting the matter to a grand jury for possible indictment. Actress Florence Pugh also commented on the case, calling on authorities to take action against perpetrators of sexual violence and expressing solidarity with survivors like Jane Doe.
