Woman told Cornell investigators she 'felt like bait' during alleged gang rape
A woman alleged that seven Cornell University fraternity members gang raped her in 2024 after she was given alcohol and drugs. She initially reported the assault to campus police and filed a lawsuit last year. The case was reopened by prosecutors after the lawsuit surfaced and gained public attention. New York's governor has since called for an investigation into how Cornell handled her report and appointed a special prosecutor to take over the case.
