US prosecutors reopen case of alleged frat house gang rape at Cornell University
Key Points
US prosecutors reopened an investigation Monday into an alleged gang rape at Cornell University following claims the elite college failed to properly punish the men involved. The alleged victim said in a civil lawsuit this month she was drugged with ketamine, assaulted and raped in 2024 by seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity, a social club for male students. Cornell closed the fraternity and temporarily suspended the students involved, several of whom were later expelled.
