A New York man was mistakenly identified as a defendant in a gang rape lawsuit against Cornell University students — and now his family is being bombarded by harassment, according to a new report.
On September 26, Victoria Ingalls was served with a 101-page lawsuit naming her son, Matthew Ingalls, as one of seven Cornell students accused by a former student of drugging, raping and abusing her at a fraternity house in October 2024, The Free Press reported. The civil suit was filed by a plaintiff identified as Jane Doe earlier this month after the case generated nationwide attention.
