Story summary

In October 2024, Jane Doe filed a lawsuit against Moonies Bar and Nightclub, Cornell University, and seven frat brothers, claiming she was served alcohol at Moonies despite being visibly intoxicated and under the legal drinking age of 21 in New York. Jane Doe was 20 years old during the alleged incident and stated her hand had been marked to indicate she was too young to drink. However, Moonies has denied serving any alcohol to Jane Doe or selling it to a visibly intoxicated person, as reported by TMZ. The lawsuit also accuses the seven fraternity members of drugging and gang-raping Jane Doe at an off-campus location after the sorority event.
