Video shows string of text messages connected to alleged Cornell gang rape
A Cornell University rape case is being reopened after no charges were pursued in 2024, the Tompkins County District Attorney's Office announced Monday. A former student alleges she was drugged and raped by several men for several hours at a fraternity house. Lilia Luciano reports.
Instagram has restricted a post made by British actress Florence Pugh regarding the alleged sexual assault case at Cornell College. The actress expressed feeling uneasy after reading about the case, stating that she was processing the situation quietly and watching everyone closely. Pugh, known for her role in the drama film "The Falling" (2014), shared her thoughts on the incident, emphasizing the need for men to be horrified and sickened by such acts.
She questioned why men often remain silent and expressed the need for change in how society views this behavior. The alleged assault occurred in 2024 when a student claimed to have been drugged with ketamine, assaulted, and raped by seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity, a social club for male students. US prosecutors reopened the case due to allegations that the men involved were not adequately punished.
A civil lawsuit filed in New York seeks financial damages from the university and the seven men, detailing graphic accounts of the alleged assault.
