La alumna de Cornell que denunció una violación grupal afirma en una carta no sentirse “creída” por la universidad
En la carta, publicada por ‘The New York Times’, la mujer se dirige al profesorado del centro en un momento en el que considera una moción de censura contra los responsables de la universidad por el manejo de su caso
A month after filing a lawsuit against Cornell University over a group sexual assault she claims to have endured at the hands of seven men in a fraternity, the ex-student of this prestigious academic institution has broken her silence through an exclusive letter published by The New York Times on Tuesday. In her two-page missive, addressed to the faculty of Cornell, she asserts that she felt "unheard" and "not believed" by university president Michael Kotlikoff during the handling of her case.
"President Kotlikoff's initial response was something like: 'Why did you wait so long to come forward?'", Doe writes.
Jane Doe, a pseudonym used by the student to maintain her anonymity, filed a lawsuit with Cornell University and seven former students, among others, in mid-September, alleging a group sexual assault she claims to have suffered in October 2024 while still a student at the elite university located in upstate New York. According to the lawsuit, she was drugged and sexually assaulted by seven members of Chi Phi fraternity over a period of nearly seven hours.
The victim accuses Cornell of "negligence" in its handling of the case. All the accused have denied any involvement, and none have been charged with any crime.
Doe filed her initial complaint with the university's police department about a week after the assault in November 2024.
