Moonies Bar and Nightclub has denied serving alcohol to the woman bringing a Cornell sexual-assault lawsuit, who later told a fraternity defendant she had been '10 shots deep' before arriving at the Chi Phi house. Jane Doe alleges that the Ithaca venue served her 'to the point of visible intoxication' despite staff marking her hand to identify her as underage.
Doe was 20 at the time of the alleged October 2024 assault, below New York's legal drinking age of 21. Her lawsuit challenges the bar's alcohol service, while a recorded conversation with defendant Matthew Ingalls contains conflicting accounts of what she told him about her condition.
