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.

      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.
