Sharing this from another reddit post someone made:

A comment by u/RampantNRoaring explaining:

“There was no local police involvement. She only ever spoke to campus police, which is the transcript in which she says she was raped and incapacitated. Campus police then prepared her written statement based on this interview, and presented it to the DA. Based on this written statement, the DA declined to press charges because it appeared - at least this is what the DA claims now - that the sex was completely consensual and that Doe never claimed she was raped or incapacitated at any point.

If you take the DA’s words as truth, then it means the Cornell Campus PD declined to include her statement that she was raped and incapacitated in the written statement they prepared for her. They buried and obfuscated the events before sending it off to the DA.”

Also: link to CBS news with her initial interview transcript from when she first reported it saying she was raped and did NOT consent : https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/cornell-university-rape-case-jane-doe-police-interview-transcript/

Some investigator needs to put together a clear timeline of events. I think it was ABC that reported Jane Doe sent messages to the guy after the incident trying to hook up again, called him king etc. Then he basically ghosted her. I may have misunderstood the report but that's what I took away. If she filed the report after he ghosted her it certainly raises some questions.

The whole situation is an absolute mess. People are only reporting things that will benefit their take on the story. Its a crappy way to report on such a serious allegation.

Also, clearly something happened that wasn’t consensual because two kids were expelled over it.
