Exclusive text messages reveal new details in alleged gang rape at Cornell University

Key Points:

• New screenshots of text messages between the alleged victim, Jane Doe, and a defendant in the Cornell University gang rape lawsuit reveal conversations shortly after the alleged 2024 assault, showing mixed recollections and references to intoxication.
• The defendant apologized for the night and expressed fuzzy memories, while Doe indicated her memory was clouded but stated that none of the sexual activity was illegal and suggested future contact without others or ketamine.
• Doe's attorney, Thomas Giuffra, confirmed the texts but emphasized Doe's trauma and denial immediately after the incident, arguing investigators did not fully pursue evidence and noting no arrests have been made.
• The district attorney announced reopening the investigation, citing inconsistencies between Doe's original statement and the civil lawsuit claims, though Giuffra disputes significant differences between them.
• Two other defendants named in the lawsuit deny the allegations, and Doe's attorney highlighted the personal impact on Doe, who had long aspired to attend Cornell before the alleged assault.
