A timeline of the Cornell gang rape allegations

A Cornell University student alleged she was gang raped by seven fraternity members in 2024 after being given alcohol and drugs. The case was initially investigated by campus police and local prosecutors but appeared to stall. After the accuser filed a lawsuit and details spread on social media, New York's governor called for a new investigation, stating the accuser had been failed by officials who should have protected her. A prosecutor has since reopened the case, and it is now receiving wider scrutiny.
