Bar Denies Serving Drinks to Cornell Jane Doe Before Alleged Gang Rape

Moonies says its staff followed underage-drinking safeguards and denied serving Doe, while the lawsuit cites a recorded call and conflicting accounts.

  • Moonies Bar and Nightclub denied claims it served alcohol to Cornell student Jane Doe, calling allegations 'completely inaccurate' in legal documents filed in her civil lawsuit.
  • Doe claims she was 20 and served to the point of 'visible intoxication' at Moonies in October 2024 before an alleged assault at the Chi Phi fraternity house in Ithaca.
  • Recorded conversations between Doe and defendant Matthew Ingalls contain conflicting accounts. Yahoo News reported she claimed to be '10 shots deep,' while the New York Post reported Ingalls's assertion that Doe said she was sober.
  • Last week, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed New York Attorney General Letitia James to lead a criminal investigation into the allegations, though no criminal charges have been filed against the seven fraternity members.
  • Cornell has expelled some students and shut down the Chi Phi chapter as the civil lawsuit continues. Doe's lawyer, Thomas P. Giuffra, described the bar as 'just another guardrail that failed that night,' though underlying allegations remain unproven in court.
