This episode examines the conflicting accounts of an alleged sexual assault involving Cornell University students on October 19, 2024, focusing on the statements made by the complainant, Jane Doe, and the accused fraternity members known as the Cornell Seven. Stephanie Soo reconstructs the timeline of the night by cross-referencing Jane Doe's civil lawsuit, a six-page police report obtained by CBS News, a separate lawsuit filed by one of the accused against Cornell, and leaked interview snippets from the university's Title IX investigation. The narrative details Jane Doe's arrival at a fraternity party, her consumption of alcohol and ketamine, and the series of sexual encounters in an alumni room that involve multiple fraternity brothers. While Jane Doe alleges she was incapacitated and coerced, the accused members maintain that her participation was consensual, pointing to her engaging behavior and bodybuilder poses. The episode explores the stark inconsistencies between both sides, the fallout on the Cornell campus including student protests, and the legal maneuvers of high-profile defense attorneys.

About this episode
Senior Night at a high school football game is a very big deal. It’s kind of like the Oscars and a State of the Union coming together for one night. There are tears, balloon arches, and slow-motion football videos, with a coach trying his best to sound like Morgan Freeman. But at Timberline High School in Boise, Idaho, the spotlight has shifted from football to protests, police involvement, and student walkouts. Homecoming festivities, including the game, were canceled after a Snapchat group chat allegedly involving football players went viral. The messages allegedly discussed how they were going to r*pe and kill a female student. “Let’s make her life hell.” “Hell yeah.” Then came a chilling reference: “You think Cornell was bad? Just wait for us.” This is part 2 of the Cornell 7 case. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com
