New York Attorney General Letitia James stepped back from the 'Cornell 7' criminal investigation after being accused of bias, naming a former federal prosecutor who oversaw Sean 'Diddy' Combs's prosecution to lead the sexual assault probe.

James announced Wednesday that she had appointed Jacqueline Kelly to lead the investigation into a former Cornell University student's allegations that multiple men raped her at a fraternity party in October 2024.

'Nothing announced today states that Attorney General James has recused herself, relinquished supervisory or charging authority, or surrendered the ability to direct, approve, reject, or override substantive prosecutorial decisions,' he told The New York Times on Wednesday.

So James pretends to step away for appearances sake.

I wonder if the courts will buy it.

Cornell 7 Cornell 8

She was a willing participant in that sexual escapade.

[Sacajaweau]

She sure was willing....It was going to be fun and games.

Reminds me of Crystal and the Duke case.

[Sicon]

What investigation? There was no crime! (apart from the underage drinking and illegal drug use, that is)

[Bon of Babble]

The case is fizzling out - it should have never been a case in the first place given all the evidence that points to the “victim” being a willing participant.

What I hope comes out of this is large settlements for the boys involved - like the Duke fake rape:

“Duke University paid approximately $20 million to each of the three wrongfully accused players.”

In NY? Of course they will.

My advice to young adult men, especially those at any university is plan on staying celibate until marriage. You will be much safer that way. Both from false accusations and resistant bacteria. Such a plan worked for many generations of young men.
