Plaintiff {gas JANE DOE, being duly swom, affirms the contents of the following to be true under penalty of perjury: 1. I am the Plaintiff JANE DOE in this action. I am a victim of sexual abuse, sexual assault, and rape. 2. I submit this Affirmation in support of Plaintiff’s Order to Show Cause to Proceed via Pseudonym pursuant to Civil Rights Law 50-b and other supporting authority and case law. I respectfully request that I be permitted to proceed anonymously using the pseudonym in the above-captioned matter and in all publicly filed documents, as well as to enjoin the Defendants and their agents from disclosing my name and/or identity to anyone other than their attorneys. 3. I am seeking to proceed anonymously because I was drugged, sexually assault, and raped by Defendant MATTHEW INGALLS, JOHNATHAN NEWELL, WINSTON LEE, GILLIO LOPES, DIEGO SARABIA, SCOTT NORRIS, and SCOTT KRETZSCHMAR, in October 2024 within the Xi Chapter of Chi Phi Fraternity’s house located on Cornell University’s campus. 4. 1 am seeking compensation from the individual defendants for the heinous sexual abuse I suffered, as well as against the institutional defendants for allowing, enabling, encouraging, aiding, and abetting said abuses to occur. 5. I am seeking to shield my identity from the stigma associated with the sexual assault and rape that I suffered. I strongly believe that proceeding in this matter henceforth via a pseudonym is in my best interests. 6. The risk of exposing my identity is particularly acute here as I was raped by multiple defendants while attending Cornell University as a full-time undergraduate student. I have since stopped attending Cornell University because of the subject incident. 7. What happened to me was devastating and humiliating.

I fear that being identified by name in this lawsuit will hinder my social life and career. Exposing my identity will negatively affect my relationships, as these people will view me differently after discovering such personal information about me through a public filing. Attaching my name to this lawsuit may permanently tarnish my reputation, one that I have This is a copy of a pleading filed electronically pursuant to New York State court rules (22 NYCRR §202.5-b(d) (3) (i)) which, at the time of its printout from the court system's electronic website, had not yet been reviewed and approved by the County Clerk.

Defendants have no regard for my health or safety. My assailants threatened my safety and wellbeing on numerous occasions, especially in plying me with copious amounts of drugs without any regard for the consequences. 10. Not only am I seeking to proceed anonymously as “JANE DOE”, but I am also kindly requesting a partial Attorneys’ Eyes Only (AEO) designation as to my sensitive personal information including my date of birth, SSN, residential address, phone number, and email address. 11. The worry of my identity being revealed in this lawsuit has caused me extreme anxiety, depression, and many sleepless nights. 12.
