A Prosecutor Reopens the Cornell Fraternity Rape Investigation After a Lawsuit

A New York prosecutor has reopened an investigation into gang rape allegations at a Cornell University fraternity. The move came in response to a lawsuit from a woman who says she was sexually assaulted in 2024 by seven students after they plied her with alcohol and drugs.

Her account is the basis of the allegations, as reported, and a reopened criminal investigation is not a finding of guilt.
