Jane Doe, one of the plaintiffs known as the "Cornell 7" who has filed sexual assault allegations against seven Cornell University Chi Phi brothers, has received multiple death threats since going public with her lawsuit. Threats include messages and voicemails from individuals claiming to be related to one of the accused fraternity members, Jonathan Newell, urging Doe to withdraw her case under threat of violence towards her family. The harassment prompted police intervention at Doe's home. Doe’s attorney, Thomas Giuffra, criticized the threatening behavior as a lack of civilized discourse and urged people to lower the temperature surrounding the controversy.

Why this leaning score
The model judged this article politically coded and scored it -0.35, but all 2 of its quote(s) are attributed speech - words the article quotes from someone, not the article's own narration, so the score is not published.
Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph

The “Cornell 7” Jane Doe has been barraged with death threats since going public with her gang rape allegations — including texts and phone calls vowing to “shoot … different people in your family” if she doesn’t drop her lawsuit, The Post has learned.
asserted
Post → barrage → lawsuit
“Would you like to see [redacted]’s brains infront of [redacted]?” read one message sent to Doe’s phone and containing specific names and addresses.
asserted
message → like → names
“If so, don’t withdraw the case,” the message, obtained by The Post, continued.
asserted
message → withdraw → Post
“If you care about your family [redacted] withdraw the case.”
asserted
you → care → case
That sender claimed to be related to Jonathan Newell — one of the seven Cornell Chi Phi brothers Doe named in her September lawsuit — and accused her of spreading lies about “something he didn’t do.”
There was no indication the creep is actually related to Newell — he confusingly referred to the expelled Cornell student as both his “brother” and “cousin” across various messages.
The sickening threats also included a three-minute voicemail where the same person coolly named Doe, addresses and people she knew while threatening harm.
“Yoooo.
asserted
she → claim → harm
,” that chilling voicemail started.
asserted
voicemail → start → ?
“To be honest, man, I’m probably just gonna like pull up to your house and like shoot … different people in your family.
asserted
I → go → family
I don’t really care anymore.
asserted
I → care → ?
Now you’re pissing me off by ignoring me.”
asserted
you → piss → me
“Like, why would you lie, like, on my brother Jonathan’s name, bro?” it continued.
asserted
it → lie → name
“Why would you, like, accuse my innocent brother, Jonathan.
asserted
you → accuse → brother
That’s f–ked up, dude?
asserted
That → ’ → ?
And you accused him of something he didn’t do.
asserted
he → accuse → something
The creepiness ramped up from there.

creepiness → ramp → ?
“I can hear you, I can hear your breathing,” the menace said.
asserted
menace → hear → breathing
“Instead of speaking up, you’re just sitting there quiet.
asserted
you → speak → ?
Why can’t you just have a normal human conversation?”
asserted
you → have → conversation
“If you want to keep ignoring me bro, like, I can’t guarantee you’ll be safe, brother, seriously.
asserted
you → want → me
The call finally ends with a “Hellooo?” and threat to “beat the f–k out of” and “do stuff to” someone Doe knew.
asserted
Doe → end → someone
The same caller similarly menaced various other people in Doe’s orbit — and the messages were so hair-raising that she reported it to police, who were dispatched to her home to investigate.
asserted
who → menace → home
Doe’s attorney, Thomas Giuffra, said those were just two of the numerous threats she’s received since her lawsuit against the Chi Phi brothers, sparking nationwide controversy about police, prosecutors and the Ivy League school’s handling of her bombshell accusations.
asserted
she → say → accusations
“Do people not have common decency anymore?
asserted
people → have → decency
It’s cowardly that these people cannot have civilized discourse,” Giuffra said.
asserted
Giuffra → ’ → discourse
“We have courts and judges for a reason — so we can resolve disputes civilly, without threats to go to someone’s home and murder their family.”
asserted
we → have → family
“It’s time to lower the temperature because people are acting dangerously,” he added.
asserted
he → ’ → temperature
Doe claimed she was plied with alcohol and ketamine at the Cornell fraternity in Oct. 2024 after agreeing to a threesome with Newell and Matthew Ingalls that quickly escalated after one of them announced there was “free p–sy” to a brotherhood-wide group chat.
asserted
one → claim → chat
Various brothers then allegedly came and went from the room to rape Doe and snort ketamine off her body, she claimed.
uncertain
she → come → body
Doe initially called the sex consensual, but about three weeks later reported it as rape after friends said she realized she’s allegedly sexually assaulted.
uncertain
she → call → rape
Local prosecutors declined to bring charges at the time — citing Doe’s statement to police that the first drugs and alcohol she had that night were taken willingly, meaning under New York law everything she then did was her own responsibility.
asserted
she → decline → law
But two of the brothers she accused — including Newell — were found responsible for sexual assault by an internal Cornell investigation and expelled.
She filed a lawsuit against the seven brothers and Cornell in September after obtaining the alleged “free p–sy” texts, which prompted prosecutors to re-open the case.
asserted
which → accuse → case
