> New York prosecutors have reopened a criminal investigation into allegations that a Cornell University student was drugged and raped by multiple men at a fraternity house in 2024. The district attorney had previously said the evidence did not meet the threshold for charges. Cornell rejects claims that it failed to investigate or discipline those involved, while one defendant’s lawyer denies the allegations.
