The New York Times has shared new details about a 2024 accusation of gang sexual assault at Cornell University; they appear to strengthen District Attorney Matthew Van Houten's argument that there was not a compelling legal basis to bring charges against seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity.
But try telling that to the social media mob, which is going to absurd lengths to identify and destroy the seven men, who now face a lawsuit from the alleged victim, known only as Jane Doe. They were named in the lawsuit, and their pictures have appeared everywhere in the media. Websites have been formed with the express purpose of naming and shaming them, and The Cornell Daily Sun's editorial about the accusations begins by listing them.
