Cornell Fraternity Assault: DA Reopens Probe as Pugh Demands Justice

Tompkins County prosecutors are reopening the criminal investigation into the alleged 2024 gang rape of a former Cornell student at a Chi Phi fraternity house. The case gained national attention after the victim, Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit in September 2026, alleging the university failed to protect her and that the accused faced minimal discipline. Actor Florence Pugh has publicly condemned the university's response, calling on men to hold their peers accountable.

Ocasio-Cortez Condemns Cornell's 'Culture of Rape' as DA Reopens Chi Phi Investigation

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) visited Ithaca on Sunday to address a 1,200-person town hall, where she condemned a 'culture of rape' at elite institutions, specifically referencing the 2024 alleged gang rape at Cornell’s Chi Phi fraternity house. The incident gained renewed national attention after a former student, Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit on Sept. 14 accusing seven fraternity members of drugging and assaulting her. Simultaneously, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten announced his office is reopening the criminal investigation, which had previously closed without charges. While Ocasio-Cortez criticized the university's disciplinary response, the DA noted discrepancies between the new civil complaint and the original 2024 police statement, stating the new allegations are 'dramatically different.'
