Cornell Jane Doe Allegedly Said 'Our Body Our Choice' in Texts About a 'Gangbang' Two Days After Reported Assault

Text excerpts attributed to Cornell complainant Jane Doe include the phrase 'our body our choice' and a reference to clouded memories in an exchange with Jonathan Newell, one of the men she later accused of sexual assault. TMZ, which published the excerpts, dates the conversation to 21 October 2024, two days after the encounter.

The excerpts have not been independently authenticated by this publication. They do not, by themselves, establish consent or resolve the allegations and should be considered alongside Doe's subsequent account, the defendants' denials and Cornell's reported disciplinary findings.
