Cornell Student Sues Seven Fraternity Members Over 2024 Drugged Gang Rape

A former Cornell University student has filed a civil lawsuit against the university and seven Chi Phi fraternity members, alleging she was drugged and gang-raped in October 2024. The complaint, filed in September 2026, details a multi-hour assault involving forced drug consumption and non-consensual penetration. While the Tompkins County District Attorney declined to bring criminal charges due to insufficient evidence, the civil suit seeks damages for the alleged failure to protect the victim and inadequate disciplinary responses. The case has drawn significant attention from the Korean American community after one defendant, Winston Lee, was identified. Cornell’s internal investigation resulted in mixed sanctions, including expulsions and suspensions, but critics argue the university’s response was insufficient and delayed.
