Story summary

A lawyer for a U.S. Marine named Cornell Jane Doe's lawyers mistakenly identified as one of the defendants has reported that his client and his family have been doxxed, threatened, and harassed. The incorrect filing included the marine’s home address instead of the actual accused fraternity member's address. Attorney Elliot Hallak wrote to New York Judge Phaedra Perry-Bond requesting the erroneous filing be removed from public records to mitigate the damage. Although Doe's lawyers acknowledged the mistake and filed a corrected document, the initial error remained accessible online, causing ongoing distress for the marine’s family. The marine “has never been to Cornell University” and was stationed in North Carolina during the time frame of the alleged 2024 gang rape mentioned in Doe's lawsuit.
