Cornell 7 accuser's lawyer claims frat bros 'had meetings' to cover up gang-rape allegations
New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- Cornell University’s Phi Chi fraternity allegedly held emergency meetings to coordinate a cover-up after a student, identified as Jane Doe, reported being drugged and gang raped at their house, according to her attorney Thomas Giuffra.
- The fraternity members reportedly aimed to protect their reputation and fraternity brothers rather than seek justice, with no one in the meetings advocating for police involvement or accountability.
- Documents reveal the fraternity tried to frame the alleged rape as a “consensual orgy” and coordinated group messages, despite some brothers downplaying the seriousness of the incident during weekly meetings.
- One accused member, Matthew Ingalls, exchanged messages with fraternity leadership discussing how to handle contact with Doe, while also allegedly inviting others to join in the sexual activity through group chats.
- Jane Doe claims she was too intoxicated to consent, describing the incident as rape, while the fraternity house where the assault occurred has since been shut down amid ongoing investigations.
