Cornell GANG RAPE Case Reopened After Lawsuit

September 29, 2026 • Produced by: Orla Maher

It comes after the alleged victim filed a lawsuit against Cornell University, saying that it failed to protect her. Today, we're unpacking what's alleged, why no one was charged, and why the case is back on the table.
