Cornell Student Allowed Anonymity in 2024 Rape Lawsuit Amid Threats
Jane Doe, a Cornell University student, has been granted permission by a New York judge to remain anonymous in her 2024 lawsuit accusing seven male students of drugging and raping her at a fraternity house. Her attorney cited ongoing threats, online harassment, and doxxing that have caused her significant fear and distress. Despite these challenges, Jane Doe remains determined to pursue the case to improve protections for survivors. None of the defendants opposed her request for anonymity, which is not automatically granted under U.S. law.
