Story summary

A U.S. Marine with no ties to Cornell University has faced harassment and threats after his address was mistakenly included in court filings related to a sexual assault lawsuit at the university. The error occurred when Jane Doe’s lawyers used the wrong address for one of the defendants, Matthew Ingalls, inadvertently including that of another individual with the same name who is an active Marine stationed in North Carolina. Attorney Elliot Hallak wrote to Judge Phaedra Perry-Bond requesting the incorrect filing be removed from public record to prevent further harm to the Marine’s family. Although Doe's lawyers corrected their mistake by issuing an amended document, the initial erroneous information remained accessible online, causing distress for the Marine and his relatives. The incident highlights issues of privacy and the potential consequences of inaccurate legal filings.
