A lawsuit filed in Tompkins County, New York, accuses Cornell University of failing to investigate reports of sexual assault that could involve up to 10 student victims, the New York Post reported. [1]
According to the lawsuit cited by the New York Post, students alleged that fellow student Esat Braveboy committed drug-facilitated sexual assault, rape, and sodomy against college students. The filing states that Cornell University ignored reports of his sexual misconduct and did nothing to investigate, despite students filing Title IX complaints. [1]
The allegation follows an ongoing legal probe involving the university. As FTMQ News reported earlier, four male defendants in a Cornell University sexual assault case joined a legal effort to remove New York Attorney General Letitia James from that investigation. Governor Kathy Hochul had appointed James as special prosecutor in early October, and James subsequently appointed Jacqueline Kelly to lead the case after allegations of bias. [4]
In short
- A lawsuit filed in Tompkins County alleges Cornell University failed to investigate sexual assault reports.
