Woman Told Cornell Investigators She ‘Felt Like Bait’

A woman who says she was gang-raped at Cornell University testified at a campus hearing that she “felt like bait” as the attackers were “like lions around me.” This is according to newly released records from the school’s disciplinary investigation. Details of the alleged attack first emerged from a lawsuit filed by the woman, identified only as Jane Doe. Heavily redacted Title IX documents show conflicting reports of what happened at the Chi Phi fraternity party in October 2024. The documents are part of a separate lawsuit involving one of the accused men looking to overturn his punishment.
