The Simple Truth Behind Jane Doe’s Story
Everyone knew what happened at Cornell was wrong.
In a recent legal case, a former Cornell University student, identified as Jane Doe, has alleged that she was sexually assaulted by seven men during a gathering at a fraternity house in 2024. The incident occurred around 11 p.m. on October 19, 2024, at the Chi Phi fraternity house. Jane Doe, who was already intoxicated from consuming alcohol, allegedly met Matthew Ingalls, one of the men involved in the assault, and began a threesome with him and another man, Jonathan Newell.
According to Jane Doe's lawsuit, after the threesome, another man, Gillio Lopes, joined the room and started having sex with her. Multiple other fraternity members entered the room and engaged in various activities, including snorting ketamine off her naked body and participating in a threesome with Jane Doe and Matthew Ingalls.
The lawsuit also names Cornell University, the fraternity, Jane Doe's own sorority, and the bar where Jane Doe was drinking before attending the frat house. Jane Doe claims that she did not initially understand what happened as rape and that her perspective on the incident changed after hearing unsettling rumors about a "gang bang" taking place at Chi Phi.
