New York prosecutors have reopened an investigation into an alleged 2024 gang rape at a Chi Phi fraternity house at Cornell University, after the alleged victim filed a civil lawsuit accusing seven fraternity members of drugging and assaulting her. The lawsuit also alleges the university failed to adequately protect her following the incident. The reopening follows new allegations surfacing alongside the civil suit, prompting renewed scrutiny of how Cornell and law enforcement initially handled the case, and raising broader questions about campus sexual assault investigations and fraternity oversight.
