Investigation of alleged gang-rape at Cornell University fraternity house reopened

New York prosecutors have reopened a criminal investigation into the alleged gang-rape of a Cornell University student at a Chi Phi fraternity house in 2024. The decision follows a civil lawsuit and public outcry regarding the leniency shown to seven fraternity members, only two of whom were expelled. The victim alleges she was drugged and repeatedly raped. Cornell University has stated its support for the reopened investigation into the perpetrators named in the legal action.
