The “Cornell Seven” rape case isn't about the law. It's about something else entirely.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed state Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor to investigate <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/us-prosecutors-reopen-cornell-gang-rape-case">allegations of gang rape at a Cornell University fraternity in 2024</a> on Thursday. On Friday, Hochul stated that the accuser had been "failed at every turn."

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed state Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor to investigate allegations of gang rape at a Cornell University fraternity in 2024 on Thursday. On Friday, Hochul stated that the accuser had been "failed at every turn."

Hochul said a transcript released this week showed the woman told Cornell police she could say with 100% confidence she was raped, but those words were not included in the account campus police sent to prosecutors.

Hochul announced Thursday that she signed an executive order naming Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor, saying new information raised questions about how the case was handled and that she had lost faith in the Tompkins County district attorney.

As special prosecutor, James will investigate the incident and, if warranted, prosecute offenses and present evidence to a grand jury. James said she stood ready to lead a process guided by the facts and the law.
