Former ‘Diddy’ prosecutor to lead Cornell sexual assault investigation
Kelly, a former federal sex-crimes prosecutor, will review evidence and witness accounts in the reopened probe, which could take months, James said.
- New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Wednesday that Jacqueline Kelly, a former federal prosecutor, will lead the investigation into an alleged 2024 sexual assault at a Cornell University fraternity house.
- Governor Kathy Hochul appointed James as special prosecutor on October 1 after losing confidence in Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten, who had declined to bring charges against seven Chi Phi fraternity members.
- Kelly previously supervised prosecutions of Sean "Diddy" Combs and Peter Nyg, as well as a dozen members of the Lucchese crime family, demonstrating expertise in high-profile sex crimes and racketeering cases.
- Operating through law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, Kelly will lead a team gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses, with the investigation expected to take months before conclusions.
- Defendants in the lawsuit seek to have James removed, alleging bias based on her prior social media support for the accuser; Cornell separately hired Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to review campus sexual assault procedures.
