Story summary

Jane Doe, a woman who alleges she was drugged and raped by seven Cornell University students in 2024, has faced multiple death threats if she does not drop her lawsuit. Her lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, reported to CNN that she received messages threatening harm to both herself and family members, including one voicemail promising violence. The threats aim to pressure Doe into withdrawing the case, which was filed in September 2024 against several fraternity members, Cornell University, and other defendants. Cornell's handling of the initial case has faced criticism, with local prosecutors also facing scrutiny for not pursuing criminal charges initially.

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.
