> New York prosecutors are reopening a criminal inquiry into a 2024 alleged rape at Cornell University after Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit claiming she was drugged and assaulted by multiple men at a fraternity house. The district attorney said the case would go before a grand jury once prosecutors determine the appropriate charges, while her lawyer accused authorities of investigative failures.
