Quick Summary

Newly obtained texts in a Snapchat group chat between members of Phi Chi fraternity at Cornell University reveal messages referring to the alleged gang rape of a female student as an open "shop" and offering "free p–sy," or drugs, upstairs. The messages were sent on the night of October 2024 when Jane Doe claimed she was drugged and sexually assaulted by seven students in the fraternity house. Among those named are Matthew Ingalls, Jonathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris, and Scott Kretzschmar. A lawyer for Kretzschmar disputes his client’s involvement, presenting a hair follicle test showing no ketamine in Kretzschmar's system, though this has not been independently verified.

Story summary

A Cornell University student, identified only as Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit alleging she was drugged and gang-raped by seven fraternity members at the Chi Phi house on October 19, 2024. Despite initial investigations that concluded without criminal charges being brought forward, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten has reopened the case and intends to present it to a grand jury with Doe's cooperation, seeking new evidence not previously available.

Doe’s lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, reported that she is in constant fear due to intense public pressure and harassment. She suffers from insomnia and relies on medication to sleep. The case, which has garnered national attention, includes allegations against Cornell University, the fraternity, and other parties involved, leading the university president to suspend all fraternity parties until the end of the academic year for a thorough review.

The reopening of the investigation follows increased scrutiny over Title IX policies at educational institutions, focusing on handling sexual misconduct cases. Despite public campaigns aimed at unmasking Doe and defending the accused men—who deny any wrongdoing—the case remains highly sensitive with significant implications for university policy and legal procedures regarding sexual assault allegations.
