Diego Sarabia, one of the seven fraternity brothers accused in a sexual assault case at Cornell University, has been fired from his job at Wells Fargo in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Sarabia is part of the "Cornell 7," a group accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a female student at a Chi Phi fraternity house. The original investigation did not result in charges, but new evidence has prompted the DA to present findings to a grand jury.
