‘The View’: Sunny Hostin Says Cornell Gang Rape Case Is Being Reported ‘Inaccurately’ and ‘Unfairly’
"There is no way, according to her statement in 2024, that any prosecutor would have brought forth a case," the ABC host says The post ‘The View’: Sunny Hostin Says Cornell Gang Rape Case Is Being Reported ‘Inaccurately’ and ‘Unfairly’ appeared first on TheWrap .
On Tuesday morning, the hosts of "The View" criticized the reporting of an alleged gang rape case at Cornell University. According to host Sunny Hostin, the case is being reported "inaccurately" and "unfairly." Cornell is facing backlash after a former student filed a civil suit alleging she was drugged, assaulted, and gang-raped by seven fraternity brothers in 2024.
A leaked fraternity group chat from the night of the incident showed members were invited to participate in the assault. Hostin argued that due process has not been completed, stating that the pictures of the young men who have not been charged or adjudicated are being "plastered all over the internet." She believes the story is being reported inaccurately and unfairly, despite its seriousness.
Hostin, a former federal prosecutor, explained that no prosecutor would have brought forth a case due to Jane Doe's voluntary intoxication and drug use, which she claimed did not legally constitute an inability to consent to sexual activity under New York law. Host Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed with Hostin's interpretation of the law but criticized the law itself, emphasizing the difficulty of consenting under the circumstances.
