Latest news on Cornell fraternity rape case as investigation is reopened
Authorities say an investigation into an alleged rape at Cornell University in 2024 has been reopened. CBS News' Lilia Luciano has the latest details.
Protesters have taken to social media in recent days to criticize Cornell University's handling of a sexual assault case involving a Chi Phi fraternity at the school. Lawyers for the alleged victim, who filed a civil lawsuit against the university and the seven members alleged to have committed the alleged gang-rape, have stated that only two members of the fraternity were expelled after the October 2024 incident.
The seven men were accused of drugging and repeatedly raping the woman over a period of seven hours. Protests over the treatment of the accused fraternity members have grown after the lawsuit was made public.
