Cornell fraternity rape investigation will be reopened, DA says

The investigation into an alleged rape at Cornell University in 2024 will be reopened, authorities said Monday.

The move comes after a lawsuit was filed earlier this month by a woman who claimed she was drugged and raped by multiple people at a fraternity house over the course of hours.

"The Grand Jury will be able to consider the testimony of Jane Doe as well as any new evidence raised by the allegations of the civil complaint. Upon a vote by the Grand Jury to indict any or all of the individuals involved, this office will prosecute the charges zealously and to the fullest extent of the law," the statement continued.
