Why has a Cornell rape investigation been reopened?

New York prosecutors have reopened a case involving an alleged gang rape at Cornell University after a woman filed a civil lawsuit accusing the school and law enforcement officials of insufficient action. The lawsuit, filed on September 16, alleges that Jane Doe was drugged and raped in 2024 at a fraternity house after being intoxicated at a bar. She claims she was pressured by two fraternity members to sleep with them, then raped by seven men over seven hours, and was unable to consent due to her intoxication. The case has sparked social media outrage over the handling of the allegations, and the District Attorney announced that a grand jury will now decide on charges.
