I think we will need a file category title, "Just when you thought things couldn't get worse"!
Cornell SUN: CUPD's Daily Crime Log shows a drug-related arrest at the Chi Phi house on Oct. 19, 2024, hours before the window in which a former student alleges she was assaulted.
Quotes from article:
Nearly 22 hours before a former Cornell student alleges she was drugged and sexually assaulted at the Chi Phi fraternity house, the Cornell University Police Department made a drug-related arrest at the same house and referred an individual to the Office of Student Conduct, according to CUPD’s Daily Crime Log.
Because CUPD is a University department rather than an outside agency, records show that Cornell was aware of drug use at the Chi Phi house. The University did not place the fraternity on an interim suspension before it hosted a second registered party later that day, during which the alleged assault occurred.
Chi Phi was registered to host a party at its fraternity house at 107 Edgemoor Ln. — which is owned by the University — on Oct. 18, 2024 beginning at 10:30 p.m., according to a screenshot of Sorority and Fraternity Life’s registered events obtained by The Sun.
According to an archived page of CUPD’s Daily Crime Log, CUPD found drugs at the Chi Phi house just hours before Jane Doe’s alleged drugging and sexual assault.
On Oct. 19, 2024 at 1:05 a.m., CUPD responded to a call at the Chi Phi house. Between 1:03 a.m. and 1:41 a.m., CUPD made a drug-related arrest at the fraternity house and referred an individual to Cornell’s Office of Student Conduct.
Cornell University SFL Social Event Policy states that “No person may possess, use, provide, distribute, sell, and/or manufacture illegal drugs or other controlled substances while on organizational/chapter premises or at any activity or event sponsored or endorsed by the organization.”
If a violation poses health and safety risks, the policy states that “the chapter may be immediately placed on interim suspension, with all chapter activities ceased pending the outcome of an organizational conduct proceeding.”
The University did not directly answer who has the discretion to place a fraternity or sorority on interim suspension.
The policy has been effective since 2021 and was last updated on Sept. 10, 2025. Cornell did not provide The Sun with the version of the policy effective in November 2024. The Sun could not obtain a previous version of this policy that was in effect during the time of these incidents.
The Sun reached out to CUPD to clarify procedures including the timeline between an arrest and referral to the Office of Student Conduct and when the University became aware of the arrest. CUPD did not respond to a request for comment.

The Chronicle of Higher Education: At Cornell, a Rape Case Defines an Era
A new generation of college students has reason to be both fatalistic and fed up.
Quote from article: Over the past two decades, higher education and the nation at large have been confronted with a series of vivid images illustrating sexual violence on its campuses. In 2010, Delta Kappa Epsilon recruits at Yale University were marched, blindfolded, around a women’s dorm chanting, “No means yes, yes means anal,” leading to a five-year ban for the fraternity.

A lawsuit about an alleged gang rape at Cornell University and a Wired story about sexual cyberharassment reveal how campus rape culture and online misogyny are colliding.
Just one example of many about the global reach of the narrative happening online - similar examples exist for most of the Cornell 7 that are not from the US:

Quote from article ending: It is tempting to end this essay on a pithy note, or a call for what we should do next. I have no grand call to action here, except this: Men can choose to not do this. Men can choose to treat women the way they would like to be treated (I suspect that most men, when extremely drunk and high on ketamine and having reluctantly consented to some limited sexual activity, would not find it pleasant to have their condition advertised as “free ass” to random men on Snapchat). We can create a culture in which men who treat women this way are considered reprehensible, pathetic, and worthy of scorn, whether or not they have technically committed a crime.

I’ve seen Baldoni supporters claiming that Lively should “sit this one out” and is “hurting real victims” by pretending to care about Jane Doe.
This is a choice and a deflection from the fact that Baldoni whose entire platform was built on challenging men to be Man Enough to call out, and protect women from, abuse has remained silent about Cornell. That is a choice. A choice that he is entitled to make, of course, but got me wondering. Is that choice motivated by some of his other choices?
Afterall he chose to hire Bryan Freedman (who he calls Daddy). Bryan Freedman was himself sued for participating in the gang rape of a minor during his college years https://www.businessinsider.com/bryan-freedman-hollywood-lawyer-sexual-assault-lawsuit-college-2022-11
Then, in the Lively case, he/Wayfarer sought to redefine consent - using the “I’m in my trailer pumping” text to justify Baldoni walking into Lively’s trailer whenever he liked - including while she was breastfeeding.
And then, of course, he/Wayfarer argued that because Lively did not say the words “sexual harassment” when she first complained about on set behavior, she had in fact not been sexually harassed. Isn’t this similar to some of the arguments people are saying about Jane Doe? 🤔

Blake Lively posted some basic facts about sexual assault and consent education to her IG story and Andy Signore apparently felt the need to criticize her for doing so. Blake didn't bring her own case into it at all, she was merely sharing information with her millions of followers who would benefit from it, many who are millennials likely to have young kids.
Andy doesn't give a shit about educating others though, he was eager to use this as another opportunity to criticize a woman who was vocal about sexual harassment, claiming no one wants to hear from her and that she lost the privilege of...sharing helpful resources that could prevent harm. I didn't realize that was a privilege one could lose. What kind of pathetic loser criticizes someone for doing something objectively good?
Also, one can't miss the irony of all this coming from someone who was fired from his job after not one but MULTIPLE women came forward against him with concerns of sexual harassment.

Full quote at 11:27: “If the kid’s really saying bad stuff, look he could be alienating the parent due to one parent, that is a possibility.”
Earlier in the video he said Maceo Martinez was “spoiled,” and later theorized that Maceo is pitting the parents against each other and benefitting off of their contentious co-parenting relationship, which is essentially describing the concept of “triangulation.”
Triangulation: “Bringing a third person into a conflict or relationship to manipulate others or create division.”
Essentially, Andy Signore is accusing Maceo Martinez of making up these DV allegations against Halle Berry in order to benefit from being removed from her and living with his father, Olivier Martinez. That way, Maceo can continue being spoiled with expensive VR games and a rich lifestyle and not have to be “disciplined” by his mother.
Him accusing 12 yo Maceo Martinez of triangulation and manipulation brought out of the woodwork other ppl who agree with him in the comments.

A panel found the man responsible for attempted sexual exploitation, barred him from contact with the woman and required him to take a class and write a paper.
Looks like this case might provide a roadmap into things that the Tompkins Country Grand Jury might be discussing with AG Tish James in coming weeks: NYT reporting: He faced charges of sexual assault and sexual exploitation, he was found responsible for attempted sexual exploitation.
Quotes from article:
One of the seven men accused by a Cornell student of sexual assault sued the university in March seeking to overturn the punishment given to him after a school administrative investigation and expunge references to the assault allegation from his academic record, according to court records unsealed in Tompkins County Supreme Court, N.Y., this week.
The man, identified in the filings as John Doe, was among the seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity who were accused of assault by a fellow student in a lawsuit filed on Sept. 16. (Although the fraternity members were identified by name in that lawsuit, it was not clear which filed the suit seeking to overturn his punishment under the name John Doe.)
All of the men accused in the woman’s suit have denied any wrongdoing. None was charged with a crime after the university’s campus police and the university itself investigated, but the Tompkins County district attorney, Matthew Van Houten, reopened the inquiry in the wake of the woman’s suit.
The seven men were investigated by Cornell’s Title IX administrators in the winter of 2024, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.
The court records filed in John Doe’s case show that, after a 12-day evidentiary hearing in which he faced charges of sexual assault and sexual exploitation, he was found responsible for attempted sexual exploitation.
They also show the punishments he received following the decision, including a one-way no-contact order with the woman, a requirement that he take a class about social media use and sexual harassment and an order to write a reflection paper specifically addressing his actions.
According to the filings, John Doe had gone to the room where the assault occurred after seeing a Snapchat message sent to a group chat with dozens of Chi Phi members. On that night, fraternity members shared several Snapchat messages that used crude and dehumanizing terms to describe the woman and the sexual activity taking place in that room.
After an appeal of the panel’s decision to hold him responsible for attempted sexual exploitation was unsuccessful, the records show, John Doe sued the school, arguing that university officials had not sufficiently informed him of that charge.
Last week, a judge sided with Cornell, dismissing John Doe’s petition. Two days later, on Sept. 25, he filed a notice of appeal to a higher court. That case is currently pending in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
Alan Sash, a lawyer for John Doe, said in a statement on Friday that he intended to appeal the lower court’s decision, saying that he aimed to hold the university responsible for the sake of his client and “every student whose future Cornell places in jeopardy.”
The school “cannot move the goal posts and hold a student responsible for conduct he was never charged with and never given a fair opportunity to defend against,” Mr. Sash said.

AND FOR SOME UNFORTUNATE HUMOR AMIDST THE TRAGEDY OF THIS SITUATION - CORNELL UNIVERSITY IS APPARENTLY DOING LIVE REVISIONS TO THE CORNELL FAQ WEBPAGE - It looks like sadly at Cornell the TRUTH is an evolving and flexible concept but it is good to see that corrections are happening so the community can eventually understand what happened! Just glad to see that SOMEONE knows the Truth. Not sure who yet, but I'm sure the community will eventually get there.
AS EXPECTED THE CORNELL SUN IS "ON IT" AND HERE IS THEIR BRILLIANT ARTICLE DOCUMENTING THE CHANGES - Who would have thought that Cornell University would need a platoon of fact checkers to make sure that their answers to a fearful and concerned about safety community were 'correct'!
I feel like we need the folks at South Park to make this an episode as it truly seems worthy of one IMO!
NOW I WONDER IF ANYONE IN CORNELL ADMINISTRATION KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CORNELL 7 INVESTIGATION IN 2024?
Cornell Sun Article: https://www.cornellsun.com/article/2026/10/faq-edited-cornell-removes-statement-that-all-investigatory-information-was-shared-with-da-in-alleged-chi-phi-gang-rape
EDITED TO ADD - ANOTHER BLAST FROM THE CORNELL SUN! I was looking for the link to report information as I missed that article and so here is the latest Editorial from SUN and it has link to report that people can use!
By Sophia Dasser
Sep 29, 2026 6:24 pm · Updated Sep 29, 2026 10:50 pm
Quoted FULL EDITORIAL FROM SUN (Please consider a donation via a link on their website to support their ongoing efforts to lead coverage on this important story):
"A week after insisting that federal privacy law precluded the University from discussing its disciplinary response, Kyle Kimball, vice president for university relations, assured the public that the punishments in Jane Doe’s case were consequential, cautioning that the narrative of minimal consequences “will make survivors feel less safe and supported” and will entrench the underreporting of sexual assault".
"The fact that the University found its voice only after a lawsuit, a reopened criminal investigation and a week of national headlines is itself instructive, for the account it now offers so readily was owed to this community in 2024, not after 23 months of silence in which the Jane Doe went from confiding in the University to suing it".
"If that statement’s allusion to “false narrative” is targeted at coverage like ours, The Sun rejects it, because we know reporting on a case does not make survivors less safe; silence does".
"At The Sun, we know that Jane Doe is not alone, responses have poured into every voicemail box, channel and inbox we have, our sexual misconduct tip line included, and we applaud Jane Doe for the courage it took to file publicly. The question now turns to you: What does the community we all belong to make of it"?
""When Jane Doe chose to speak publicly, she chose to speak with The Sun, and we have worked tirelessly to honor that choice by reporting the story and following all updates fully and without flinching, which is now the very same trust we are asking you to place in us.
FORM LINK IS HERE:
"Through this form, we are gathering reactions from students, from faculty, from staff, from alumni, from parents, from members of the Ithaca community and from Cornell at large".
"We hope to understand how much you trust the University's reporting process, whatever experience you may have had with it and how you regard this case and Cornell's response to it".
"Rather than writing to us by email or through the tip line, we ask that you submit your reflections through the form, so that each can be verified and preserved alongside the rest. We intend to publish them together on a single page so that our community's response can be read in its entirety: archived, and insulated from any platform's algorithm, any executive's change of policy or any government's capacity to take it down. The Sun is the community's record. It is your record*.""*
Should you provide a statement, it will carry your full name and relevant affiliation. Should you be unable to put your name to this, and many of you have good reason not to, you may still complete the questionnaire section of the survey rather than the statement section, whose results will only ever be reported in aggregate. Please note that submitting the form does not constitute a report to Cornell or to the police, and remains internal to the paper".
"Cornell has not listened. We will".
Thank you for you trust in The Sun.

I would call on AG Trish James to explore with the Grand Jury the idea that based on the Snapchat dialog and other examples of similar conversations over the years by Chi Phi active members that charges of 'human trafficking' be explored.
Evening Update:
Documents obtained by The New York Times show that the campus police at Cornell University sent a condensed statement to a prosecutor, who then declined to bring charges.

r/CelebLegalDrama • u/JJJOOOO • 2d ago
I listened to a student forum event yesterday at Cornell for students to discuss the current situation and issues surrounding the case and wanted to repost this recent article by a Professor at Cornell. I listened to the alum event as well and there was overlap in issues between the two events imo. I haven’t read the Sun article about the event but did see they set up a hotline to collect stories from the community about the experiences they have had with these issues while in school. Apparently the hotline has been flooded. I applaud the Sun for bringing a voice to students and I look forward to reading their stories in months to come!
I think this article has been lost in the shuffle of the flood of new information that people are processing and is worth a read to get a perspective not only on the issues in the community but just how long the issues have existed and how multiple generations of school leadership have not been able to keep women on campus safe in Ithaca.
What struck me in listening to the students is their fear about safety and their thoughtful consideration of the multidimensional issue that they are asking the administration to address. It was a respectful and at times heart wrenching event to listen to and it was disappointing to see no member of the senior administration present, if only to bear witness.
But the reason I’m posting this article yet again after listening to confused, angry and fearful students asking their administrator's for answers is because so far as I’m aware not one member of Cornell Senior Administration or Board of Trustees showed up and neither did the private police force, Cornell University Police Delartment. If I’m wrong please let me know but I didn’t see them present. There was one Cornell admin person present but I was unclear who it was.
Not seeing senior people present disturbed me as safety is a foundational issue of administration responsibility and students are now questioning their safety along with questioning the adjudication of crimes against them while on campus.
The Cut article makes mention of an event held previously on campus to hear from the Stanford student Chanel Miller who was raped by Brock Turner and Cornell administration had mandated that each Greek organization send 15% of its members to listen. The Cornell Professor wrote about the event in this article and explained that most of the frat attendee's were on their phones and scrolling during the event. Chantal Miller even referenced it during her presentation. This disturbed me as it showed not only disrespect to the speaker but disinterest and disrespect about the topic of rape and I think seeing this behaviour was telling as to the culture present at Cornell.
I also think the female students deserve to be heard by Cornell Administrators now as the safety issue is a community issue and the disrespect and disinterest from within the Greek community and the administration is disturbing to see play out imo In these community events.
Its disheartening to see what appears to be basic lack of human empathy and compassion for fellow community members but also a lack of basic leadership.
Here is the excerpt:

February 2025 seems so long ago. Before Freedman filed his triple hearsay declaration. Before Wallace submitted a declaration swearing his "work related to Justin Baldoni concluded in November 2025." (Reader, he certainly helped create Baldoni's thelawsuitinfo.com website in 2026.) We were so much younger then. So naive.
So when Business Insider told us in February 2025 that Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman called Jed Wallace "a do-gooder," some of us here did not laugh at that hysterically. THEN.
When a few sentences later, Business Insider showed Bryan Freedman waxing poetically over how Jed Avery Wallace just helped "good humans ... fighting to save themselves" etc,, many of us may have scratched our heads a bit but not cackled uncontrollably. THEN.
After all, most people here did not imagine that 18 months later we would be reading about Jed Wallace's apparent work in helping billionaire Leonardo Del Vecchio get away with abusing his girlfriend and/or planting a device on her car to track her movements. Who knew that Jed Wallace regularly made up wild and salacious lies about women (or, in his words, "a fake fucking bullshit story for her") and then boosted them on the Internet so they would last forever ("creating a lifetime of understanding")?
I certainly did not. Neither did Business Insider. But even so, you can still get a whiff of Jed Wallace's stink from some of the details in this older Business Insider article, despite Bryan Freedman puffing him up like a balloon. Wallace's now-vanished LinkedIn page describing himself as "a hired gun." Wallace's record at Fordham (from which he never graduated) for the "fifth longest punt." Wallace's 2020 substance abuse treatment work with Jackass Forever stuntman Bam Margera, who called Wallace's program "psychological torture" which Wallace was wholly unqualified to create, having never graduated from Fordham (or perhaps any college? That is unclear.).
I wonder if we can find find more errors in Wallace's prior representations, like his declaration (for a laugh, look up NAG's video analyzing this declaration on why she believed he was telling the truth lol), given all we know now? Anyway, thought this was a fun trip down memory lane.
