A New York district attorney declined to review additional evidence gathered by Cornell University police before deciding not to pursue criminal charges in a gang rape investigation, according to newly obtained records.
The records, obtained by the New York Times, show that on November 25, 2024, a Cornell investigator told a member of the Tompkins County district attorney’s office that campus police had conducted additional interviews. Prosecutors did not ask to review the evidence and instead agreed that, based on a six-page statement from the former student known as Jane Doe, “criminal charges would not be pursued in this case.”
