Jane Doe in Cornell University case told campus police, "I can say with 100% confidence I was raped," transcript shows

Key Points:

  • Cornell University conducted an internal investigation into an alleged fraternity gang rape in 2024, resulting in expulsions, suspensions, and other sanctions, while the criminal investigation by prosecutors has now been reopened.
  • CBS News New York obtained a transcript of the alleged victim's interview with campus police, which took place over two days starting Nov. 14, more than three weeks after the incident.
  • The transcript reveals the victim, Jane Doe, described being intoxicated with gaps in memory, distinguishing initial consensual sexual activity from later non-consensual acts, and stating with certainty that she was raped.
  • During the interview, the investigator prepared a written statement with Jane Doe’s input, which she reviewed and expressed confidence in before signing; this statement was a key factor in the District Attorney's initial decision not to press charges.
  • Jane Doe’s attorney previously suggested she was in denial after the attack, while attorneys for two defendants deny the charges; CBS News New York is continuing to follow the case and has not yet received responses from involved parties.
