New York Attorney General Letitia James will take over oversight of the investigation into an alleged gang rape at Cornell University. Governor Kathy Hochul justified the decision by citing serious questions about the conduct of campus police and the district attorney. The Guardian ↗
A former student said that seven classmates attacked her at a university fraternity house. According to available information, she was allegedly drugged before the attack. The prosecution reportedly closed the investigation initially without filing charges, and part of her testimony was reportedly removed or ignored. Merkur ↗
The case has drawn criticism of both the university and local authorities. The student has also sued Cornell University, claiming that it failed to take the necessary measures after the incident. The university subsequently announced an external review of its handling of the case. Le Monde ↗
In a video, Cornell's president said the incident raises serious questions and that the university must improve its procedures. The case has also highlighted the broader problem of sexual violence at American universities and concerns about the inadequate protection of victims. BBC World ↗
The investigation will also include an assessment of the conduct of the police, the prosecution and the university. Attention has also been drawn to the spread of claims on social media, where thousands of users posed as the anonymous whistleblower in an apparent attempt to protect her identity. Le Figaro ↗
