New York state prosecutors have reopened an investigation into the alleged rape of a woman at Cornell University in 2024. The woman filed a civil lawsuit against the Ivy League university on 16 September alleging she was drugged and raped at a fraternity house at the university. She also alleged that Cornell failed to protect her or adequately punish the men involved. The men have been dubbed the "Cornell Seven" and the woman was identified anonymously as Jane Doe in court filings. Cornell has said it supported presenting the case to a grand jury, while rejecting claims it failed to punish those involved. An independent investigation into the handling of the case has also been launched, headed by the state's attorney general. Tap the link in @BBCNews’s bio to read what the response has been on campus.
