> The lawyer for a woman who alleges she was raped by seven men at a Cornell fraternity house says she is doing badly as online users try to identify her. New York Attorney General Letitia James has taken over the investigation after Governor Kathy Hochul said she had lost faith in the county prosecutor and vowed to address a legal loophole affecting rape charges involving alcohol or drugs.
