Cornell rape accuser receives threats, and poll shows Latino voters dropping Trump: Weekend Rundown

The woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by Cornell University fraternity members has received threats pressuring her to drop her lawsuit, her attorney said.

Thomas Giuffra told CNN’s “State of the Union” that people attempting to unmask his client’s identity had also targeted at least three women mistakenly identified as her. The former Cornell student is identified as Jane Doe in court documents.

Doe filed a lawsuit last month against Cornell and seven Chi Phi fraternity members, alleging she was sexually assaulted over the course of hours on Oct. 19 and 20, 2024, while she was under the influence of ketamine, alcohol and marijuana.

The suit has sparked renewed scrutiny of how the university and local authorities handled the allegations. Gov. Kathy Hochul last week appointed New York Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor to consider whether criminal charges are appropriate.

It’s not enough to not rape somebody. Because what that girl could’ve really used that night and what she didn’t find was one good man.

As the Cornell case continues to draw national attention, parents online are sharing how they’re teaching their children to challenge a culture that allows sexual violence to persist.
