Attorney says people have threatened to silence or harm ‘Jane Doe’ if she does not withdraw civil lawsuit
The woman who has alleged that she was drugged and raped by Cornell University students has been the target of threats, her lawyer said on Sunday.
Thomas Giuffra, who represents the woman identified as “Jane Doe”, told CNN that people have threatened to silence or harm her if she does not withdraw her civil lawsuit alleging that several members of a Cornell fraternity drugged and raped her in 2024.
“She’s received multiple threats,” Giuffra said on CNN’s State of the Union.
Giuffra said he had also been threatened.
apparently 35% of female students have been victims of some form of SA in the university. cornell rarely punished anyone there. Cornell like other universities will bury any form of assault to keep thier reputation.
Can the university legally punish attackers without a conviction?
Yes, it’s a private institution.
they can but, its bad pr to have so many SA getting punished.
