Cornell student named in Jane Doe's civil suit seeks to be dropped from case
One of the Cornell students who was named in a civil lawsuit by a former undergraduate student known as Jane Doe, has asked a judge to drop him from the suit.
Diego Sarabia, a Cornell student, is attempting to be removed from a civil lawsuit filed by a former undergraduate student known as Jane Doe. The lawsuit alleges that during a gang rape that allegedly occurred in 2024, Sarabia kissed Jane Doe without her consent and snorted ketamine off her body. However, Sarabia's attorney, James Knox, argues that Jane Doe's lawsuit is now too late to include Sarabia, as she failed to allege that he supplied her with drugs or alcohol, participated in any of the alleged sexual encounters, or was present for most of the conduct.
The defense attorney also cites a strict one-year statute of limitations, as Jane Doe filed the complaint nearly two years after the alleged events. Cornell has denied the allegations and is conducting an internal investigation, while New York Attorney General Letitia James is leading a state investigation.
