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.

“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.
