Accused Men Challenge AG Letitia James in Cornell Rape Case Amid University ScrutinyPreviousNext

Two men accused in a 2024 Cornell University gang rape case have challenged New York Attorney General Letitia James's role as special prosecutor, citing her social media posts supporting the accuser before her appointment. The case follows a civil lawsuit by the accuser alleging drugging and assault at a fraternity party. Meanwhile, Netflix released a documentary on the case amid growing calls from faculty for Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff's resignation over the university's handling of sexual assault allegations.
