Winston Lee, a member of the Chi Phi fraternity at Cornell University involved in a lawsuit alleging gang rape, apologized to Jane Doe over backlash she received but became defensive during their phone call on November 7, 2024. In the conversation, Jane Doe described being heavily intoxicated and drugged before allegedly being assaulted by eight to ten men. Lee claimed he was unaware of what was happening when he entered the room where the incident occurred and had not intended any harm. Cornell suspended Lee for two years but did not press criminal charges against him or his co-defendants.

Story summary
Winston Lee, a member of the Chi Phi fraternity at Cornell University, apologized to an alleged victim referred to as "Jane Doe" in a phone call obtained by ABC News. The call, dated November 7, 2024, came roughly three weeks after Jane Doe filed a lawsuit against seven fraternity members, including Lee, for gang rape. In the call, Jane Doe told Lee she was completely intoxicated and given multiple sedatives before an alleged incident where "upwards of eight to 10 men" entered her room at the frat house. Lee initially expressed regret about the backlash Jane Doe faced but later became defensive when she described the incident as a gang rape. The lawsuit stems from an October 2024 event where Lee and other fraternity members reportedly posted messages on Snapchat suggesting there was "free p—y," referring to Jane Doe.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
