Cornell Fraternity Rape Case Reopened After Civil Lawsuit

US prosecutors have reopened an investigation into a former Cornell University student's allegation that seven fraternity members drugged and gang-raped her in 2024. The case was revived after the woman, identified as Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit accusing Cornell of failing to protect her. Excerpts of text messages reportedly involving a defendant and the woman were published by CBS News on Tuesday, including one in which an unnamed male defendant appeared to apologize days after the alleged assault. The prosecutor is continuing the probe as the campus reacts.
