Giuffra said the messages are a\n\"critical piece of evidence\" that were provided to authorities in 2024.\n\n\"My client went to the Cornell University Police because a crime was committed. It was the obligation of the police to investigate\nthe complaints. They were given the group chat inviting the members of the fraternity to rape my client,\" Giuffra said. \"This was a\ncritical piece of evidence supporting that a crime had occurred. Despite this there was no follow-up with Ms. Doe either by the\nCornell Police or the Tompkins County District Attorney.\u201d\n\nABC News has reached out to the named defendants in the lawsuit, including the seven fraternity members, Cornell University\nand others.\n\nCornell said in a Sept. 21 statement that it takes allegations of sexual violence \"extremely seriously\" and that its Office of Civil\nRights and Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards \"investigated and adjudicated the allegations consistent with\nuniversity policies.\"\n\nThe university said federal privacy law prevents it from publicly disclosing specific information about individual students or\ndisciplinary responses. Cornell said violations of university policies could result in sanctions up to and including suspension or\nexpulsion.\n\nRelated\nTrump administration halts $1 billion for Cornell, $790 million for Northwestern, White House officials say\n\nCornell also said the Xi chapter of Chi Phi \"remains barred from our campus.\"\n\nThe university said in a new statement on Monday that it \"supports the decision of the Tompkins County District Attorney (DA) to\nprovide an opportunity for the victim\u2019s story, in the 2024 Chi Phi fraternity Sexual Assault case, to be heard by a criminal grand\njury.\"\n\nevidence over multiple days.

Period,\u201d said attorney Jeremy Saland. \u201cWe\npo Live Video Local News v Shows v Good Morning America ShopGMA Q QO A\nRelated >\nNew York Gov. Hochul calls for \u2018transparent, independent review\u2019 of Cornell response to alleged group rape\n\nDefendant Scott Norris denied engaging in sexual activity or drug use, though he acknowledged that he sent a message that was\nincluded in the complaint.\n\u201cT did not participate in any sexual activity or drug use. I was not found responsible by Cornell for any of the accusations involving\nsexual activity and drug use for which others received serious consequences. I thoughtlessly engaged in Snapchat and briefly\nstopped in the room where misconduct happened but not when it happened,\u201d he said through an attorney.\nAn attorney for Gillio Lopes denied the allegations against his client, which he said \u201cdo not reflect the complete record.\u201d\n\u201cCornell previously investigated this matter and developed an extensive factual record.

It\nreopened the criminal investigation Monday as public outrage built over the\nwoman's allegations.\n\nTompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten said his office has beg\n\npursuing criminal charges against the seven alleged perpetrators and will prese\nthe case before a grand jury. The victim is suing the men allegedly involved in tl\nreported gang rape, the fraternity, the university, a bar located near campus ar\nothers.\n\nHochul calls for investigation\n\nWhat they're saying: New York Gov.

He also defended his office's decision\nto conduct an additional investigation after the woman initially spoke to police\n2024.\n\nIn a statement, Cornell University supported reopening the investigation,\nemphasizing that an internal 2024 disciplinary panel expelled some students a\nsuspended others, while closing the on-campus Chi Phi chapter.\n\nDenying claims of lenient punishments\u2014such as offering essay writing as a sol\nconsequence\u2014Cornell called such claims false and irresponsible, warning that\nmisrepresenting the sanctions undermines survivor safety and reporting.\n\nDig deeper: However, a newly surfaced transcript from November 2024 directh\nchallenges the prosecutor's account of the initial police interview.\n\nhttps://www.fox5ny.com/news/ny-attorney-general-reviewing-cornell-fraternity-alleged-gang-rape-handling 3/5\n\n\n--- Page 36 ---\nFILED: ALBANY COUNTY CLERK 10/07/2026 06:21 P INDEX NO. 911974-26\nwry SeeeS: role PM _ 5 NY attorney general reviewing Cornell fraternity alleged gang rape handling 1 F Os New none e : 10/07/2026\n\nThe Associated Press reported Wednesday that a newly surfaced transcript fro\nNovember 2024 shows the victim explicitly telling campus investigators she wa\nentirely certain she had been raped.\n\nAccording to the document, the woman stated she was rendered completely\nhelpless after being coerced into consuming alcohol and narcotics at the Chi P|\nhouse, while also detailing severe physical violence during the assault.\n\nTompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten acknowledged to med\noutlets that he did not review the full interview transcript before opting against\ncriminal charges in 2024, according to the AP.
