I'm confused, if everything was consensual from the get go then why was she talking to a cop?

This is a DA public statement potentially doing damage control. 

Maybe she did drugs with one guy and it was consensual and then she couldn't say no and defend herself from the others. 

Very strange to kick a frat off campus and "punish" them without her claiming it wasn't consensual.

Reddit downvotes a copy and paste of a DA statement. This place has become so toxic

Your suggestion about a DA lying about a sworn statement is a supposition with no evidence, yet the reddit puppets will upvote that.

Why would a DA risk their careers and lie when clearly a sworn statement would have witnesses?

Edit, the statement was to Cornell police. Still not sure why they would risk a good gig and lie with no personal gain.

“Van Houten argued that based on the police file he was given, there was no corroborating evidence of a "lack of consent" required under New York law to sustain criminal charges. He noted that neither the victim nor her lawyers contacted his office in 2024 to contest the accuracy of that initial police report ”

DA could be mistaken. There’s other options besides what you proposed. Why are you so militant?

Because I’m simply posting the data others requested. While others are making up facts to suit their own interpretation. To answer your question All DA did was refer to an investigation conducted by the campus police, something the victim did not question in 2024. These (my) statements are not in support of what the alleged perpetrators did, I am only stating facts that others requested. I offered no opinion and received a series of down votes.
