Quick Summary

Rep. Nancy Mace has sparked controversy by tweeting that Jane Doe, a Cornell student who accused seven fraternity members of rape, was a willing participant in what Mace called a "consensual gangbang." The tweet, which received over 1.3 million views, references texts released showing Jane Doe communicating amicably with some of the men involved before her allegations. However, Jane Doe's lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, stated that she experienced denial and shame after discovering group chats where the fraternity members referred to her as "free p—y" and boasted about their actions, leading to changes in her recollection and eventual acceptance of what had occurred.

Story summary

Representative Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, caused controversy by tweeting on X that a "consensual gangbang is not a rape," referring to the Cornell 7 case, where seven fraternity brothers are accused of gang-raping a student. The tweet went viral and was viewed more than 1.3 million times. Mace's statement came after newly released texts showed the alleged victim, referred to as Jane Doe, communicating amiably with some of her accusers. Despite this, Jane Doe’s lawyer argued that she was processing traumatic events through denial, shame, and acceptance, with her recollections changing upon seeing group chats where she was described derogatorily. Mace later clarified that she is not an expert on the topic and did not mean to end the debate with a single tweet. The case has drawn national attention and sparked protests across the country.

Outspoken Rep. Nancy Mace has gone wildly viral for insisting that the Cornell student accusing seven fraternity brothers of raping her was actually a willing participant in a “consensual gangbang.” asserted

student → go → gangbang

The outspoken South Carolina Republican joined the divisive debate about the Cornell 7 case some 18 months after she came forward with her own explosive allegations that she’d been drugged and raped by her ex and three of his associates. asserted

she → join → associates

“IDK who needs to hear this, but a consensual gangbang is not a rape,” Mace wrote on X in a message viewed more than 1.3 million times since she posted it late Thursday. asserted

she → idk → it

Mace’s viral tweet came after a trove of newly released texts showed the Cornell accuser, only known as Jane Doe, chatting amiably to some of the men she later accused of rape, suggesting that they shouldn’t “feel any shame.” asserted

they → come → shame

“Our body our choice,” she wrote in one text. asserted

she → write → text

However, the woman’s lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, told The Post Thursday she had been in the early stages of processing the events, and “was going through, denial, shame and ultimately acceptance.” asserted

she → tell → denial

Her recollections changed in part through seeing group chats with the frat bros advertising her as “free p—y” — and one later bragging that she’d been part of an “eightsome.” asserted

she → change → eightsome
