Hochul Names Letitia James as Special Prosecutor in Cornell Case
- On Friday, Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James are expected to provide an update on the Cornell sexual assault investigation after Hochul appointed James as special prosecutor to oversee the probe.
- The investigation centers on allegations from a woman identified as Jane Doe, who reported being plied with drugs and alcohol before being subjected to sexual acts by members of the Chi Phi fraternity.
- A lawsuit filed last month alleges 7 fraternity brothers participated in the assault, though lawyers for two of the men denied the claims, stating their clients did not touch the woman.
- Hochul appointed James following intense criticism of Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten, who had initially closed the investigation without charges in 2024 before reopening it last month.
- The case has impacted the Ivy League campus, raising questions about how sexual assaults are handled at Cornell as the legal process moves forward.
