Governor vows to close legal loophole after Cornell gang rape
New York Governor Kathy Hochul vowed on Oct 2 to close a legal loophole allowing offenders to avoid rape charges if their victims were willingly intoxicated, as in the case of an alleged gang rape at Cornell University.
There has been an outcry in the United States over a decision by prosecutors not to file charges in the case at the Ivy League college two years ago, prompting the governor to appoint state Attorney-General Letitia James as a special prosecutor.
The investigation was reopened on Sept 28 after the alleged victim filed a civil lawsuit, fuelling allegations that the elite college failed to properly hold the men accountable.
