Pelosi cancels Cornell University event amid frat house rape investigation
Letitia James will take over the case after Governor Kathy Hochul said she lost faith in the county prosecutor’s handling of the investigation.
- On Thursday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order appointing Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor in the Cornell rape case, replacing Matthew Van Houten.
- The accuser, known as Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit on September 16 alleging she was drugged and raped at a fraternity house in 2024, claiming Cornell failed to protect her or adequately punish those involved.
- More than 1,300 graduates signed a letter demanding "swift and expansive" action, while students organized a "Justice for Survivors" protest scheduled for October 5 to demand policy changes and accountability.
- Cornell maintains it conducted an "extensive investigation" and issued sanctions including expulsions, yet student assembly chair Eeshaan Chaudhuri stated the campus stands "with victims of sexual violence" and demands full transparency.
- Two years after the incident, students describe the campus atmosphere as a "dark cloud," with freshman Eliana Dolven-Miller expressing she is "disgusted" by the institution's handling of allegations that resurfaced in recent weeks.
