LitigationCivil lawsuit filed by Doe against Cornell University and seven Chi Phi members (ongoing)

On September 16, 2026, an anonymous former student of Cornell University identified under the pseudonym Jane Doe[1] filed a civil lawsuit against the university, its Chi Phi fraternity chapter, and a group of seven student members of the fraternity among others. Doe alleged that she was drugged and gang raped by the seven students at the Chi Phi fraternity house in 2024, and that Cornell failed to protect her and punish the alleged perpetrators.[2][3][4][5]

Doe reported the incident to Cornell University Police on November 8, 2024, which allegedly took place about three weeks prior, between October 19 and 20. After receiving a six-page summary of the 120-page police transcript, Tompkins County district attorney Matthew Van Houten declined to present the case to a grand jury. From January to May 2025, a Title IX investigation and at least twelve hearings were conducted by Cornell, resulting in the expulsion of two students and closure of the Chi Phi chapter, while also permanently barring it from campus. The other accused students faced other sanctions, such as suspensions, disciplinary probation, and writing reflection papers.

Since the case was filed in 2026, the accusations alleged by Doe have attracted national media and political attention. Following media outcry, New York governor Kathy Hochul called for a transparent and independent review of Cornell's responses and appointed New York attorney general Letitia James as a special prosecutor.[2][6] The student defendants are often colloquially referred to by the media as the "Cornell 7".

Alleged gang rape

Doe's account

At around 8:30 p.m. on October 19, 2024, "Jane Doe", a 20-year-old student at Cornell University and member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority attended a sorority social event at Moonies Bar & Nightclub in Ithaca, New York. She had drunk vodka at her sorority house before traveling to the bar with the chapter's house mother.[7] She alleged that the bar staff were aware that she was below the legal drinking age in the United States (21), drawing an "X" mark on both of her hands to indicate this, but that she was still provided with at least one drink at the establishment. She and her sorority co-members walked to another bar. According to Doe, by 11 p.m., she had drunk approximately ten drinks in three hours and was "visibly drunk". She walked about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the bar to visit a male friend, a member of the school's Chi Phi chapter, at the fraternity house located at 107 Edgemoor Lane.[7]

According to Doe, the male friend took her inside the fraternity house, gave her another beer, and proposed a threesome with a second man.[7] She consumed marijuana, rum, and ketamine with the men before engaging in sexual activity.[7] She reportedly developed bruising as a result of the sexual activity and said she was pressured to consume the ketamine.[7] She noted that it was her first time consuming the drug.[8] She later engaged in further sexual activity with one of these men and a third man that entered the room.

By the following day, at around 1:42 a.m.,[9] some of the men exchanged Snapchat messages in a group chat called "Chi Phi Actives" saying that there was "free pussy" upstairs, in reference to Doe.[9][7] At one point, a photo of Doe was sent to the chat, in which she appeared to be smiling with a man; immediately before this, Doe's male friend wrote, "Like you can walk in and whip it out. [...] Boys come whip it out".[10][11] Another man also allegedly asked "Shop still open?" immediately after the image was sent, receiving an affirmative reply.[10]

As four additional men entered the room, Doe was "horrified" and hid under the covers of the bed.[6][12] According to her 2024 report, these men reportedly ingested ketamine and a majority of them left after making additional advances. At various points, she allegedly told some of them that she was "uncomfortable" and "tired".[13] As the majority of the men left, two of the men removed her to another room. The 2024 report relays this as potentially the fraternity president's office, but later reports describe as a closet. At Cornell's Title IX hearing in May 2025, Doe alleged that at this point these two men were "just raping" her as she was "in and out of consciousness". She described this as her "worst" experience of the night.[10] She also told the police in her longer initial statement[clarification needed] that at this point, her eyes were "looking in different directions" and she became "completely numb to the situation".[14]

The 2026 lawsuit alleged that she was "incapable of consenting" to the initial encounter. Both the 2024 and 2026 accounts alleged rape during the later encounters.[15] In this lawsuit, she added the allegation that some of the men pressured her to consume additional ketamine until she became "completely incapacitated".[9] It also stated that she lost consciousness around 5:45 a.m. on October 20.[7]

2024 police statement and summary

Doe told police that she was "pretty OK" with the first encounter.[9] According to the district attorney's summary of Doe's police statement, the first threesome ended when one of the men lost his erection and "stumbled" from the couch to the bed to take a nap and the second man began dry-heaving. Doe comforted him, but he assured her that he would not vomit. They briefly kissed again, with the man allegedly reaching for the area near her vagina "several" times. She allegedly swatted his hand away each time.[16]

A third man, to whom the room belonged, entered. Doe and the third man kissed, eventually engaging in a second threesome with the second man as the first continued sleeping nearby. The first man eventually woke up and proposed a foursome, to which Doe said "Hell no", and it didn't proceed. At one point, the third man left the room.[16] Four other men then entered the room. The first man was described as sitting on the corner of the bed and allegedly introduced the other men to Doe.[16] The additional men allegedly consumed ketamine off her body and made additional advances. Most of the men allegedly left the room following this encounter, but two of the men reportedly then took Doe to another room for another threesome. At this point, Doe reported she was "completely incapacitated". According to this statement, the third threesome ended when Doe said she was "tired".[16]

In the district attorney's summary, she recalled replying "Sure" to a request to consume drugs off her body; and she alleged that at this point she was feeling "dizzy" due to an unspecified pre-existing medical condition paired with the effects of ketamine usage.[17] The third man and another man entered the room during this and said something like, "Ok we're shutting down whatever the [expletive] this is."[6] The group dispersed.[18] The first man allegedly proposed another threesome to "redeem" himself after the first; Doe allegedly told him she was tired and asked, "What happened to just you and me?" Another threesome occurred; at this point, she was allegedly an "8 out of 10" in terms of intoxication according to the summary. The sexual act reportedly concluded at 5:45 a.m. when Doe said that she was tired.[16]

Men's accounts

According to investigative records obtained by The New York Times, four of the accused men acknowledged sexual contact with Doe but alleged that it was consensual; the others denied participating in sexual encounters. One alleged that Doe had performed oral sex on him when he was too incapacitated to consent. The Times reported that their accounts differed and frequently contradicted one another.[19]

Most of the men alleged that Doe did not appear intoxicated. One participant in the initial threesome said he assumed her friend had obtained her consent, and that he and her friend had drunk heavily, used marijuana and ketamine, and vomited. Another alleged that Doe initiated sexual contact without asking for his consent. One of the men recalled allegedly telling Jane Doe that "if you're uncomfortable with any of this or you won't want to do this, that's perfectly fine. We can call it a night", to which she allegedly replied, "We're all consenting adults here", though this statement was reportedly given prior to additional ketamine usage and a few hours before the end of the alleged assault.[19]

Two others said they entered after reading the Snapchat message; one claimed that they were checking on Doe's welfare. Another man denied using drugs or engaging in sexual contact and said that he only stayed in the room Doe was in for five minutes. Another man said he was initially concerned on entering after 2:30 a.m., but was reassured when those present invited him in.[19]

Aftermath

In documents from Cornell's Title IX investigation, one of Doe's roommates testified that in the morning after the incident, she was seemingly in shock and trying to laugh off what had transpired. According to another roommate, Doe told her, "I wasn't comfortable."[9] On October 21, one of the accused men texted her to apologize for "how things went down" and said his memory was "kinda fuzzy".[1][9] Doe replied that "non [sic] of the sexual stuff was illegal" and that she had liked being with him and the other man in the initial encounter.[1] She also said that her memory was "super clouded too", assured him that they were amicable, and suggested that they could smoke substances together again, though she requested to "leave out the extra 5 billion men and ketamine".[9]

On October 22, Doe told a university doctor that she had contracted a urinary tract infection "in a traumatic way" and sought testing for sexually transmitted diseases; allegedly, she was advised to "speak with somebody" and was not offered expert consultation or a rape kit.[20][21]

The Title IX record contains an interview with one of the accused men where he allegedly confirmed that he spoke to Doe, convincing her not to "spread any rumors" about the incident. He is also quoted as saying that he and his fraternity co-members were "in the idea of just deny" if asked about the events of that night.[22] Doe maintained friendly correspondence with her male friend until a week following the incident, when she read a comment in an online forum about the fraternity, referring to people who had "gang raped a sophomore".[15]

Her male friend had assured her that she was welcome at the fraternity's annual Halloween party, which she had been eager to attend.[1] However, before Halloween, the fraternity's president phoned Doe to inform her that she was disinvited from the party.[1] On November 3, she texted two of the accused men and alleged that "90% of what happened that night was not consensual".[9][1] On November 7, Doe went to an emergency room in Ithaca and requested a rape kit.[1] On November 8, 2024, Doe reported these alleged assaults to Cornell University Police with the encouragement of her friends.[7]

Cornell's Chi Phi chapter was notified of their suspension on the same day that Doe reported her allegations to the police. Text messages sent to a small group chat, as verified by ABC News, showed Doe's male friend asking his co-members: "What's the plan of action? Should I call [Jane Doe]? I don't think she would have reported this." Within the chat, the fraternity members attempted to figure out what party was being referenced in their suspension notice; the one on October 19 with Doe and another on the 25th were mentioned as possibilities. On November 10, Doe made a phone call to her male friend, which she recorded. In it, she told him that she had sustained physical injuries from the alleged assaults and wanted to understand how the events of the night happened. He claimed that she had said she was sober on the night of the incident, while she insisted that she had not. She also asked him why so many men entered the bedroom in which the sexual activity took place. "The door was just unlocked…the party was sort of like crowded…there was nowhere else to go", he replied, not mentioning that he had sent messages inviting his Chi Phi co-members to enter.[11]

Via Snapchat, the male friend allegedly asked a woman to submit "proof that [Doe] lied"; she replied, "I don't have evidence." She later showed the request to Doe, who reported it to the university.[11]

Police and Title IX investigations

Upon Doe's report on November 8, Cornell immediately issued a temporary suspension to the Chi Phi chapter, as well as suspensions to the seven students concerned over alleged violations of the school's Student Code of Conduct.[7][23] Doe was first interviewed by the Cornell University Police from November 14 to 15, 2024.[13] This reportedly produced a 120-page transcript,[20] which was obtained by CBS News in 2026. They quoted Doe as saying, "I can say with 100% confidence I was raped", and providing detailed accusations within the document.[13]

After receiving a six-page summary of Doe's statement prepared by campus police in 2024, Tompkins County district attorney Matthew Van Houten declined to present the case to a grand jury.[24] He elaborated on his office's interpretation of the summarized statement. He wrote:

Jane Doe's sworn statement in November of 2024 did not allege that she was drugged against her will or gang raped. On the contrary, Jane Doe’s statement described her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual.

...

Finally, there is no evidence in Jane Doe's statement indicating that she clearly expressed that she did not consent to the act. According to the statement, each time Jane Doe asked to stop the sexual conduct, the sexual conduct stopped. Thus, with no evidence of a "lack of consent", criminal charges simply could not be sustained. To instruct otherwise would have been to violate my prosecutorial obligations under New York State Law.[16]

The summary has been interpreted differently by some news sources. NPR's Jaclyn Diaz argued that "several" instances of Doe saying that she did not consent to certain activities and was "increasingly" intoxicated as the evening progressed could be found within the condensed version.[25] According to The New York Times, the police-prepared summary retained Doe's allegations that she "felt some of that night's events were a crime" but omitted "some of the more forceful and definitive language she used", including her explicit assertion that she had been raped.[24] The View's Sunny Hostin, a former federal prosecutor specializing in child sex crimes, said "she read the Jane Doe's original nine-page 2024 statement" and "there is no way, according to her statement in 2024, that any prosecutor would have brought the case."[26]

Cornell commenced a formal Title IX investigation on January 14, 2025.[2] Subsequently, the office conducted at least twelve hearings addressing Doe's accusations in May 2025.[7] For one of the hearings, Cornell prepared a 99-page report regarding the incident. Investigators reportedly conducted 50 interviews with 32 witnesses. They determined that ketamine had been in use at the fraternity in the week of the incident and one individual had overdosed on the drug at the Chi Phi house one day before Doe was allegedly raped.[27] The woman who received the male friend's request for exonerating evidence told investigators that Doe had been consistent in alleging that she had been subjected to non-consensual sexual activity, and that the male friend previously tried to convince her that Doe was lying.[11]

One of them allegedly entered the room following the Snapchat message and left after consuming ketamine off of Doe's body. He was found responsible by the Title IX investigation for "attempted sexual exploitation" but not sexual assault.[8] During the hearing, he made an apology towards Doe: "I was sorry that maybe if it wasn't consensual and she was victimized, I was sorry for not stopping it. And that I'm sorry I couldn't tell if she was under the influence ... just sorry that I felt like if something actually bad happened, I didn't stop it."[27]

2025 outcomes

Two of the accused men were expelled from Cornell. One of them was the male friend that Doe had originally gone to visit on October 19; he was found responsible for sexual assault. Cornell's investigative panel judged that he had been "willing to manipulate, exploit and endanger Jane Doe for his own self-interest and the entertainment of others" on the night of the incident. The other had sent the Snapchat message encouraging other fraternity members to enter the room in which Doe was undressed.[28]

Another two were suspended and given disciplinary probation. They were also required to study sexual harassment and write reflection papers. Similarly, another pair of men were required to study sexual harassment, social media use, and bystander intervention, as well as write reflection papers. All of these four were forbidden from contacting Doe. One man who had already graduated from Cornell at the time of the hearing was barred from entering the university campus for three years.[28]

One of the men who was found responsible for the lesser offense of "attempted sexual exploitation" but not sexual assault[28] later filed a petition to annul Cornell's decision, arguing that it was "unfair"; his appeal was denied in early 2026. The failed petition publicized details relevant to his involvement in the case. Among these details, Cornell's investigative panel concluded in its 2025 hearing that his Snapchat message on the night of the incident indicated understanding of a "sexual situation involving a female" when he chose to enter the room; and that the record supported the finding of "attempted sexual exploitation". They did not find sufficient evidence that he had been using ketamine. During the alleged gang rape, he had gone upstairs upon receiving the "free pussy" message and later told the chat's other members that it was "not a bit" upon confirming Doe's presence in the room. "I shouldn't have said it. And it is immature and a stupid text message for sure", he had stated at the hearing, insisting that he had merely been "following along with what everyone else was saying".[8]

2026 re-investigation

In September 2026, Van Houten said he would consider presenting the case to a grand jury despite his refusal to do so in 2024[29] and said that he had not seen the full police transcript at the time containing the explicit rape accusation.[30][24] On September 28, prosecutors stated they would reopen the investigation.[6][31][32] The next day, New York governor Kathy Hochul called for a transparent and independent review of Cornell's response.[31] Ithaca mayor Robert G. Cantelmo called for an "immediate moratorium on all student event and special event permits"[33] due to the ongoing case of the Chi Phi gang-rape scandal.[34] The office of state Attorney General Letitia James began reviewing the university's response to the allegations.[35]

On October 1, Hochul announced that state Attorney General Letitia James would be the special prosecutor in the investigation. Hochul's announcement came as she "lost faith in the Tompkins County D.A's ability to fairly oversee" the investigation, referring to Van Houten. As special prosecutor, James was given the ability to prosecute any offenses that arise from the investigation, and present evidence to a grand jury.[36]

Defendants' statements

One of the accused told Title IX investigators that he was too intoxicated to consent and described himself as the victim.[37]

Following Doe's 2026 complaint and the publication of the defendants' names, the defendants have attracted significant public scrutiny; some made statements to the media. Through his attorney, one of the accused men denied "touch[ing] the plaintiff in any way" and called Doe's allegations "selfishly false". A second defendant acknowledged that "misconduct" had occurred and confirmed that he had "thoughtlessly" sent one of the Snapchat messages included in the complaint, but denied participating in any sexual activity or drug use at the time of the incident.[38] The latter's attorney, Jeremy Saland, told NBC News that the defendant "participated in a group chat whose content was ugly and reprehensible, and he regrets it" but argued that his activity in the chat did not prove that he engaged in sexual assault.[8] On October 2, a third defendant's attorney, Andrew Miltenberg, told NewsNation's Chris Cuomo, "I don't want to take away from whatever Jane Doe's experience was. It was clearly traumatic to her", but asserted that his client had only been in the room with Doe for "less than 20 minutes", had consensual sex with her, and saw no reason to believe she had been incapacitated.[39]

Reactions

On September 26, 2026, student journalists at The Cornell Daily Sun revealed the names of the seven students, after reporter Cereese Qusba's background research on Cornell's policies.[40]

The newspaper's September 18 story reported the allegations in Doe's civil complaint.[41] The allegations received considerable attention online, with several commenters criticizing Cornell University's handling of the case.[42][43] [44] CNN reported that the case refocused attention on the issue of campus sexual assault.[45] The accused men became colloquially known as the "Cornell 7", which earned some criticism due to its similarity to that of the Central Park Five case.[46]

In his September 2026 press statement, Van Houten repeatedly emphasized that the accuser had knowingly consumed intoxicating substances on the night of the incident. Although Van Houten did not explicitly reference the New York state law known as the "voluntary intoxication loophole" in his statement, multiple sources connected it to the aforementioned law because of similar language being used.[47][48][49][50] In response to the Cornell case, New York senator Lea Webb urged the State Assembly to approve a proposed bill also endorsed by Jeffrey Dinowitz and Nathalia Fernandez, where "a conviction could occur if it is demonstrated that a person reasonably should have known the accuser was incapacitated and unable to consent", regardless of how the accuser became incapacitated.[50][51]

The Korea Times reported that the case has been receiving considerable attention in South Korean and Korean American online communities because one of the accused men has ties to South Korea. Some commentators drew perceived parallels between the Cornell allegations and Korea's Burning Sun scandal, due to the role of private group chats as well as questions of institutional accountability being raised in both scandals.[52]

Former Cornell instructor Lin Farley, who is credited for coining the term "sexual harassment" in the 1970s, told Newsweek that Doe's allegations did not surprise her. Characterizing Cornell as a "big fraternity university", she alleged that the school "[doesn't] do anything except support the fraternities". She also expressed that she believes "nothing" will change at Cornell, though she has "faith" in Hochul regarding this particular case.[53]

On October 2, 2026, it was reported by Stars & Stripes that a Marine Corps sergeant’s family has been subjected to abuse after the service member was erroneously served with a lawsuit intended for one of the accused, because the two share the same name. The Marine has never attended university and was serving on active duty in the Marine Corps at the time of an alleged October 2024 assault. Camp Lejeune officials have released a statement clarifying he was not the individual named in the lawsuit.[54]

US President Donald Trump has criticized the appointment of Letitia James as a special prosecutor to the case, stating his belief that the accused men "won't get a fair shake" from the investigation, further opining that "Cornell's a fine school, and I'm sure they'll do what's right".[55][56]

Following widespread public interest and the release of details from the civil lawsuit in late 2026, online doxxing attempts, targeted harassment,[57] and efforts to expose the plaintiff's identity[58] led to the creation of the digital solidarity campaign "I am Jane Doe." The movement was organized to protect the plaintiff's privacy and prevent her name from being publicized.[59][60][61]
