Cornell Withheld 1,000-Page Gang Rape Investigation from DA

A former Cornell University student who alleges she was gang raped made a explicit accusation of sexual assault during an interview with university police in November 2024. However, the district attorney says that university police did not share that document with his office, raising serious questions about the handling of the case. According to CNN affiliate WCBS, which obtained a transcript of the interview from a source, the student stated, "I can say with 100% confidence I was raped." The withheld document is part of a 1,000-page investigation that has not been turned over to prosecutors. This report examines the timeline of the investigation, the communication breakdown between campus police and the DA's office, and the implications for the pursuit of justice. It also explores the broader issue of how universities handle sexual assault allegations and the challenges survivors face in seeking accountability.
