Prosecutors in central New York are reopening an investigation into sickening allegations that seven Cornell University frat brothers horrifically drugged and gang-raped a former student.

Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten told ABC News that his office is considering bringing criminal charges related to the case — after the nightmare described in a civil suit filed by the survivor sparked outrage online.

We should be talking about this.

What happened here is so unacceptable I feel rage and shame for this poor woman as a man.

What really bothers me is the fact if it wasn't for two BRITISH actresses I follow on Instagram I would not have not have known about it, or it would have been a while before I did.

Now, some people are trying to politicize this in the name of hating men. No. Indeed, not all men are cool with such acts of evil and I applaud those who are getting the names and faces of the guilty out there. If they can't go to prison may they never have another moment's peace anywhere on God's green earth.

I’ll contain my outrage until I know this is not another case where regret = rape. I have read the woman’s original statement to the Cornell police (hardly a pro-man organization) resulted in no charges because she stated she voluntarily took the drugs and engaged in sexual activity. Further she stated she was not incapacitated or unable to resist.

Given no charges publishing the men’s names while hiding the woman’s in a civil suit makes this all the more suspect.

I looked at the perps. Very bizarre as it is a multi-racial group. Reason I say this as generally, gang-rape is generally done by non-whites in the US, per crime stats (I think FBI).

I observe from the article that congressthing Sandy Cortez is using this crime as an occasion for grandstanding. She disgusts me.

The actresses don't actually care. If they did, they'd be up in arms about the +200K British girls who were raped by "newcomers" over the past 20 years in the UK.

The kids who did this are scum. One might wish that those pretending to be up in arms about it would spend five minutes also caring about the 350K children sex trafficked into the US under Biden.

They need to arrest the administrators who gave this “Punishment Assignment” as “accessories after the fact” and prosecute them for failure to report this crime.

Without doing a deep dive on the details, my first thought was “Duke Lacrosse 2.0”?

How do you know they don’t care? I didn’t even name them.

A 2 year old accusation

All in lurid terms from a woke NY State uniparty prosecutor

Just in time for the midterms

Go away troll.

Yeah, it’s the same as that stupid mattress girl. Destroying people’s reputations for clout. Either that or she suddenly feels like a slut for getting a train run on her and wants to validate those feelings.

Matt Vespa reposted a tweet from a woman who doesn't think it's okay for ICE agents to defend themselves.

Hard pass.
