Polymarket removes bets on outcome of Cornell sexual assault case

Polymarket has removed a prediction market that allowed users to wager on the legal outcome for seven Cornell University students accused of sexual assault at a fraternity house in 2024. The platform archived the market following significant public backlash. Before its removal from the international platform, the market had amassed approximately $450,000 in wagers. The specific bets focused on whether any of the Cornell 7 would face formal charges regarding the alleged incident.
