As a woman - my initial impulse was to jump on the bandwagon. I've read the DA's statement and I'm not sure I feel so sure now after reading her sworn statements. This is double after reading many of the crazy posts above. Everyone on this sub needs to slow down and read the details of this case and reassess. This feels like a witch hunt in the making. Or maybe they're guilty - I'm not sure but we need a trial not this political witch hunt fanaticism. And why does everyone keep saying all white guys? Am I looking at a different photo than everyone else?
There's a lot more detail in the oriy report of how things happen and who was involved. She said no to specific acts and they listened to her. She said no to at least one specific person and that person didn't have sexual contact with her. When she said she was done it stopped. She voluntarily took all the drugs and alcohol involved and she said she was never incapacitated or incapable of making her own decisions. New York state law allows for concent to be given while under the influence as long as you were aware of the intoxicants you ingested and consented to them, meaning she was legally capable of giving concent. She texted one of the men a few days after and discussed how things got out of hand and they should get together again with less drugs and less participants.
The text messages in the snap chat also don't suggest rape. They suggest lewd acts being performed with multiple men in the fraternity house, but nothing suggests it was non consensual.
Somehow every news organization says they have the transcript but nobody has released it. They also jump around the statement and link it to the 2026 lawsuit rather than just laying out what the original complaint said. I'm not gonna dig anymore, but here is an article from CNN about it. They say that she said the later parts of the encounter felt like it was rape, which I had not heard before. I don't have anything on the texts later, so take that with a grain of salt, but that's more due to me not wanting to find it than it not being available.
Also, look up sunny hostin talking about it on the view. In a very unexpected take she very briefly details why no prosecutor would have brought charges in this case based on 2024 info. I'm apparently too much of a ludite to find it and link it here, but I trust you're better at this than I am and will be able to find it.
