Cornell’s Jane Doe Is 'Terrified' After Swatting Incident at Her Home, Lawyer Says
Doe’s lawyer says dozens of threats and online posts exposing her identity followed her lawsuit accusing seven fraternity members of rape and drugging.
- 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.
