  "summary": "A lawyer for a woman who alleges she was gang raped at Cornell University in 2024 believes there may have been more than seven men involved in the incident. According to her lawyer, the woman was blacked out during periods of time, making it difficult to determine the full extent of the assault.\n\nThe woman, known as Jane Doe, has filed a civil lawsuit against Cornell University, alleging that she was drugged and raped at a fraternity house. Her lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, has reported that she has received multiple threats, including warnings to withdraw her lawsuit or face harm.\n\nCornell University President Michael I. Kotlikoff has addressed the incident, stating that the university must do better and will examine the role of fraternities and sororities on campus. He expressed concern about the issues of sexual assault, dehumanization, and party culture, and acknowledged that being part of a group can never diminish individual responsibility.",
