According to the South China Morning Post, US prosecutors restarted an inquiry on Monday concerning an alleged gang rape at Cornell University, subsequent to assertions that the prestigious college did not impose sufficient penalties on the men implicated.
In a civil lawsuit filed this month, the alleged victim stated that she was drugged with ketamine, assaulted, and raped in 2024 by seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity, which is a social organization for male students.
Cornell had previously taken action by closing the fraternity and placing the students involved under temporary suspension, with some of those students subsequently being expelled.
The South China Morning Post noted that the newly disclosed specifics regarding the alleged incident have intensified claims that the university was too lenient, thereby reviving discussions about sexual assault on US college campuses. The District Attorney intends to file criminal charges against seven men in the 2024 fraternity assault case.
