Texts about alleged Cornell gang-rape released after investigation reopened
Texts, including unnamed male defendant appearing to apologize, reportedly sent days after alleged 2024 assault
Excerpts of text messages reportedly exchanged by a defendant in the Cornell University gang-rape case and the woman who claims she was assaulted were published by CBS News on Tuesday, a day after New York prosecutors said they were reopening a criminal investigation.
The texts were reportedly sent within days of the alleged October 2024 assault at a campus fraternity house in which a female student said she was drugged and repeatedly raped over the course of seven hours by multiple men who were alerted to her presence on the social media platform Snapchat.

The fact that the University found its voice only after a lawsuit, a reopened criminal investigation and a week of national headlines is itself instructive, for the account it now offers so readily was owed to this community in 2024, not after 23 months of silence in which the Jane Doe went from confiding in the University to suing it.
