SocietyDA reopens investigation into alleged Cornell University ‘gang rape’

Prosecutors in central New York are reopening their investigation into an alleged 2024 “gang rape” at a Cornell University fraternity after a civil lawsuit filed earlier this month triggered outrage. Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten said his office is weighing possible criminal charges, while calling the civil complaint’s allegations “dramatically different” from the woman’s statement to police.
