Sick 3-Word Text Sent in Cornell 7 Case as Woman, 20, 'Drugged & Gang Raped'
The renewed criminal inquiry will examine newly surfaced group-chat evidence and conflicting accounts after a civil lawsuit named seven defendants.
- On Monday, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten reopened a dormant investigation into a 2024 sexual assault report at a Cornell University fraternity, citing allegations that were "dramatically different" from the student's initial sworn statement.
- A civil lawsuit filed earlier in September alleges seven men assaulted a student at the Chi Phi fraternity house after plying her with ketamine and alcohol, leaving her unable to escape the encounter.
- Text messages published Tuesday show a defendant apologizing for events that were "kinda fuzzy," while the woman wrote "non of the sexual stuff was illegal." Lawyer Thomas Giuffra argues she was traumatized and operating in "self-preservation mode."
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul called for an independent review of Cornell's handling of the incident. The university stated it supports the District Attorney's decision to revisit the case.
- The renewed inquiry is expected to assess newly surfaced evidence and conflicting accounts central to the case. Public outrage intensified after the lawsuit became known two weeks ago, when no defendants had been arrested or charged.
