You might have heard about a horrific, seven-hour gang rape perpetrated by seven frat bros at an Ivy League school in a liberal state, where the guys got off scot-free because of “The Patriarchy.” You might have even heard about it in very #MeToo language from your favorite virtue-signaling celebrity, your governor, or that weird girl from high school who never stops posting on Facebook.
Well, it doesn’t seem to be true — at all.
Some disgusting behavior went on at Cornell University two years ago. It involved drugs and threesomes and just all-around low-class debauchery. All things conservatives want stamped out, and for good reason. But according to the alleged victim’s original statement to police, the sexual activity was consensual, and the district attorney initially determined there was insufficient evidence of criminal conduct under New York law.
The incident is getting renewed attention, though, because the accuser has filed a civil lawsuit against the school and seven former Cornell students, seeking damages that could result in a significant payout if she prevails. The civil suit, according to Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten, presents a dramatically different account of that night than what the woman told authorities in 2024. Van Houten has said the woman’s original sworn statement described her drug use and sexual activity as voluntary, conscious, and consensual:
Jane Doe’s sworn statement in November of 2024 did not allege that she was drugged against her will or gang raped. On the contrary, Jane Doe’s statement described her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual. … I have never been contacted by Jane Doe’s attorneys. Not to inform me the original statement was inaccurate and not to ask me to reconsider our decision. Rather, I reached out to Jane Doe’s attorneys after the lawsuit was filed to understand the discrepancy between the original statement and the lawsuit’s allegations and the proper path forward in light of the lawsuit’s allegations.
In the accuser’s six-page sworn statement to Cornell University police in November 2024, she described a night of heavy drinking and sexual activity at the Chi Phi fraternity house. According to Van Houten’s account of her statement, she first agreed to a sexual encounter with two fraternity members because of “how attracted [she] was” to one of them and her “drunken curiousness.” The night evolved from there, including more drug use and sexual encounters. On three occasions — once when she was concerned about a male, once when she felt dizzy, and once when she felt tired — the sexual activity stopped without pause.
Here’s how the night started out, according to the DA, with direct quotes from the accuser:
Jane Doe “agreed due to how attracted [she] was to [Male Number 1] on top of [her] drunken curiousness.” When she learned that Male Number 2 would be the third participant, Jane Doe “remembered being excited because [she] thought that [Male Number 1 and Male Number 2] wanting to have a threesome meant that they were gay.” The three engaged in a “threesome” involving oral and vaginal sex in a room of the fraternity. At the start of the threesome, Jane Doe described her intoxication level as “5 or 6 out of 10” and that she was “pretty ok with having this threesome.” The sexual conduct ended when Jane Doe “noticed that [Male Number 1] appeared really sleepy and was no longer fully erect.” She told Male Number 2 “[they] needed to stop having sex in order to make sure [Male Number 1] was ok. [Male Number 2] then stopped having sex with [Jane Doe].”
Later in the night, the males told the accuser how “pretty” she was and asked to do drugs off her body. She said, “Sure.” The sexual interactions continued, but when the accuser felt dizzy, the males stopped:
While the men were doing drugs off of her body, “[Male Number 3] and [another male] entered the room and said something like, ‘Ok we’re shutting down whatever the f*ck this is.” Jane Doe felt dizzy due to a pre-existing medical condition causing dizziness combined with the effects of the Ketamine use. Male 5 or 6 (who apparently have the same first name) “encouraged [her] to stay seated as long as [she] needed.”
The drug use and sexual interactions continued again, and then finally ended when the accuser said she was tired:
Jane Doe initially stated that she was tired and asked Male Number 1, “What happened to just you and me?” Jane Doe could not remember how it started but she then engaged in a threesome with Male Number 1 and Male Number 4 involving oral sex and vaginal sex. She described her level of intoxication as “8 out of 10” at this point. “The threesome continued until at some point, around 5:45am, [Jane Doe] said [she] was tired and needed to turn in. At that point, both guys stopped the threesome with [her] as far as [she] can remember.”
Additionally, according to the accuser’s own civil suit, she texted one of the males about the sexual encounter and told him she wanted to meet up again, enjoyed being with him sexually, and “none of the sexual stuff was illegal.”
And if you need further evidence that what you’re being told online and elsewhere does not square with the accuser’s 2024 statement, former prosecutor and extremely Left-wing “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin acknowledged on-air that there is “no way that any prosecutor” would have filed based on the statement. And, importantly, she slammed the media and public figures for doxxing these young men, who haven’t even been charged with a crime:
Sunny Hostin, a former sex crimes prosecutor, actually defends the Cornell 7. She argues that under New York State law, the girl consented and that the media is “reporting this story inaccurately. I think they’re reporting it unfairly.”

Still, the DA has agreed to reopen the case and said his office plans to present it to a grand jury once prosecutors determine the appropriate charges. The move comes as pressure surrounding the case has mounted, including renewed scrutiny from politicians and public figures after the Cornell Sun published the names of the accused men. New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul has also called for an outside review of Cornell’s handling of the allegations.
