Attorney says people have threatened to silence or harm ‘Jane Doe’ if she does not withdraw civil lawsuit
The woman who has alleged that she was drugged and raped by Cornell University students has been the target of threats, her lawyer said on Sunday.
Thomas Giuffra, who represents the woman identified as “Jane Doe”, told CNN that people have threatened to silence or harm her if she does not withdraw her civil lawsuit alleging that several members of a Cornell fraternity drugged and raped her in 2024.
“She’s received multiple threats,” Giuffra said on CNN’s State of the Union.
Giuffra said he had also been threatened.
apparently 35% of female students have been victims of some form of SA in the university. cornell rarely punished anyone there. Cornell like other universities will bury any form of assault to keep thier reputation.
To keep their reputation of supporting rapists? You would think they would want to have a reputation of expelling them.
I mean, The only thing I know about them is that they are ivy league and its the school where you can get drugged and gang raped by half a dozen men for hours.
And they won’t even expell your rapists.
PR wise, they have to think about the alumni donating, and these future “men” that become rich alumni that will donate and increase thier reputation.
That’s rape culture foe you.
Can’t get past the idea that some parents would not want their son to go to Cornell because the school wouldn’t protect him when he rapes. Like, maybe focus more on teaching your child not to rape. Or that a graduate’s alumni pride is centered on how much raping the school afforded them over the years. That they would donate more but there was that one semester where their raping numbers were down…
schools only ever care about donations. even our CC when i was in 2000s, had bunch of rich alumni come every now and then to the school. and to stroke thier own ego, they donate to a specific building that has to be built in thier specifications only.
Can the university legally punish attackers without a conviction?
they can but, its bad pr to have so many SA getting punished.
Can the university legally punish attackers without a conviction?
Yes, it’s a private institution.
Remember, these rapists will likely go on to successful careers in politics and business.
Supreme Court judges maybe?
Not if we can help it.
We never have before. What do you think has changed?
What about the rapist Brock Turner? I think we did a pretty good job on that one.
Sentenced to a life in Dayton unable to even get into local bars… truly a fitting punishment
So what? We should just fucking stop trying to hold men accountable.
Jesus h Christ you must be a white man cause that’s got to be one of the stupidest fucking comments I’ve read today.
Your mom must be so proud of the dill weed you’ve become.
You must have had that loaded up and all ready to blast at someone because you read all that into my comment and then attacked what you read in. Namecaller. But please, tell me more about your damage.
Or maybe I’m just really tired of men being idiots.
Because you are in a bad mood, that makes it okay to abuse strangers? Because you are in a bad mood, you can insult my mother’s memory? Because you are in a bad mood, you can say racist and sexist shit, and that is just okay? That’s bannable behaviour, to be polite about it. Fix yourself. You’re the problem you hate.
This is so fucked up. How are these people so depraved?
And how are death/harm threats so normalized?
Yeah, not a fan of the new normal.
I don’t think this is new. 😑
It’s a super effective method of making something something happen, with little to no risk, and very little effort for the person doing it. However once you realise it’s basically spam most of the time it looses it’s edge.
Because they know their lives are going to get destroyed. They are desperate, which is only going to make it worse for them.
Sounds like the maga playbook alright
Just plain vile species. Uni doesn’t do much to curb such behavior.
Wonder if the perps come from rich influential pariah families?
Would absolutely not be shocked if the affluenza defense is used here :|
What do you think pariah means?
Mongrel
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pariah
So you’re using it as the Indian caste slur?
O boy way to make the situation worse!
/s
No /s. The situation is getting worse for the rapists. They know this and that’s why their victim is getting threatened.
