Umar Matthew Ingalls, a former Cornell University student accused alongside six fraternity brothers in the Cornell 7 civil lawsuit, is believed to have left the United States for Dubai, according to the Daily Mail. The report emerged amid a renewed criminal investigation into allegations stemming from an October 2024 party at the Chi Phi fraternity house.
The lawsuit, filed by a former Cornell student identified as Jane Doe, alleged that the seven defendants sexually assaulted her on 19 October 2024, The Blast reported. Cornell's subsequent Title IX investigation resulted in Ingalls and Jonathan Newell being expelled, while other defendants received varying sanctions.
