Jane Doe is getting death threats as pressure builds from Cornell sexual assault investigation
Her lawyer says she has received more than 20 threats and a swatting call, while police and the FBI investigate the harassment.
- On Tuesday evening, police swarmed the home of Cornell student Jane Doe after receiving a bogus 911 tip about an active shooter, pointing weapons at her family members before determining the call was fake.
- The incident followed Doe's lawsuit filed last month alleging she was drugged and gang-raped by seven members of the now-defunct Chi Phi fraternity in Ithaca, New York, in October 2024; the accused deny wrongdoing.
- Attorney Thomas Giuffra reported that Doe has received death threats and doxxing attempts since filing the complaint, with online personalities campaigning to identify her and publish her name.
- During a Monday meeting, Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff acknowledged mounting campus frustration, while students held a seven-hour sit-in Wednesday to show solidarity with Doe.
- Cornell recently appointed former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates to investigate the school's handling of sexual assault claims amid ongoing scrutiny from the university and local authorities.
