A New York District Attorney reportedly failed to review witness statements and other evidence gathered by Cornell University police in an alleged gang rape investigation involving a student. This oversight has drawn significant criticism regarding the handling of the high-profile case.
In response to the situation, New York's Governor has taken action, removing the District Attorney from the ongoing investigation. The Governor stated that the victim, identified as Jane Doe, was "failed" by both law enforcement and the prosecutor involved in the case.
Separately, an individual accused in the alleged sexual assault is seeking to expunge Cornell University's finding of a related violation. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
