简·多伊的律师辩称,她在2024年10月据称遭到性侵的当晚抵达康奈尔大学兄弟会会所时“完全、严重醉酒”,因此“无法同意性行为”。

“从她走进门的那一刻起,她就没有同意能力;她当时无法做出同意,”她的律师托马斯·吉夫拉告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。

吉夫拉声称,简·多伊被强迫服用氯胺酮,这种药物让她感觉自己“漂浮在身体上方”,像个布娃娃——无法阻止事情的发生。

“她感觉自己就像个性工作者,被随意地从一个地方挪到另一个地方,完全无力阻止,”他在提及简·多伊在康奈尔大学Title IX(反性别歧视)调查中的证词记录时说道。

“确信存在掩盖行为”

吉夫拉表示,针对她所指控性侵的调查几乎在每个环节都出现了失误,他如今认为校方官员当时更关注保护康奈尔大学的声誉,而非追究责任。简·多伊已对该大学以及七名前兄弟会成员提起诉讼。

哥伦比亚广播公司纽约站已联系所有被告,截至周五下午,已有两名被告的律师回复,否认了相关指控。据《纽约时报》报道,第三名男子的律师也公开否认存在不当行为。康奈尔大学在一份声明中表示,该校耗时数月开展了“彻底的Title IX调查”,并支持汤普金斯县地区检察官重新审理此案的决定。

“我越来越确信存在掩盖行为。起初我以为只是办案拙劣,但现在我认为确实存在掩盖。我认为他们当时担心保护学校的声誉。他们要保护这个县最大的收入来源,”他说道。

这名女子当时是20岁的大二学生,在 alleged 性侵事件发生三周后向康奈尔大学警方报案。吉夫拉认为,调查人员未能采取基本措施,包括询问兄弟会群组聊天中被点名的证人、盘问涉案男子,并在证据还未灭失时扣押他们的手机及其他物证。

“无论是民事案件还是刑事案件,都应尽可能在事件发生后第一时间获取证据,但他们却完全搞砸了。我真的很震惊,”他声称康奈尔大学警方“能力不足,无法处理这类严重犯罪”。

纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔也表示,她对康奈尔警方和汤普金斯县地区检察官处理此案的方式“深感不安”,称警方将受害者长达六页的宣誓证词而非完整笔录移交给地区检察官的决定是“失误”,并批评地区检察官未开展任何约谈。周五,霍楚尔任命纽约州总检察长莉蒂西亚·詹姆斯担任此案的特别检察官。

吉夫拉表示,诉讼是在简·多伊完成康奈尔大学的Title IX调查流程后提起的,当时她已经准备好采取法律行动。

“我们需要确保她状态良好。曾有一段时间,她觉得自己无法承受此事带来的任何负面反应,而如今她已经做好了准备。就在那时我们提起了诉讼,”吉夫拉说道,并补充说整理这份101页的诉状花费了不少时间。

“关键证据”

诉讼文件中附带的一张截图显示,其中一名被告在一个包含数十名兄弟会成员的Snapchat群组中发送消息称,楼上有一名女子可以“免费”发生性关系。

“听着,这个群组有超过50名成员。这50个人没有一个出手阻止,”吉夫拉认为。

吉夫拉表示,唯一做得正确的人是泄露群组聊天记录的那个人,因为如果没有这份记录,“我们就不会拥有这一关键证据”。

哥伦比亚广播公司纽约站调查记者马哈·赛迪迪获取了简·多伊与其中一名被告在 alleged 性侵发生后几天内互发的短信截图,在短信中多伊写道“所有性行为都不违法”。吉夫拉证实,简·多伊确实在 alleged 性侵后不久与这名被告有过短信往来,但他无法确认具体的聊天内容。

这条消息引发了审视,社交媒体用户质疑其与诉讼中的指控如何自洽。

吉夫拉表示,她最初是否认的。随着校园内谣言四起,简·多伊称她“逐渐意识到自己遭到了轮奸”,这一点来自从Title IX调查中新获取的记录。

诉讼中被点名的七人中有四人被明确指控犯有强奸罪。

“他们并非都是轮奸犯,但都属于性虐待者,”吉夫拉说道,并补充称其他人也行为不当,需要承担责任。

Jane Doe’s attorney says “she was incapable of consent,” accuses Cornell of “cover-up”

Jane Doe’s attorney argues she was “incapable of consent” because she was “completely, grossly intoxicated” when she arrived at a Cornell fraternity house the night she was allegedly raped in October 2024.

“She didn’t have consent from the time she walked in the door; she was incapable of consent,” her lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, told CBS News.

Giuffra claims Jane Doe was pressured to take ketamine, which he says left her feeling as though she were “floating above herself” and like a ragdoll — unable to stop what was happening.

“And she felt like, you know, like a sex worker just being shuffled from place to place in a bit, unable to stop it,” he said, referring to transcripts of Jane Doe’s testimony in Cornell’s Title IX investigation.

“Convinced there was a cover-up”

Giuffra says the investigation into her alleged rape failed at nearly every turn, and he now believes university officials were more focused on protecting Cornell’s reputation than seeking accountability. Jane Doe has filed a lawsuit against the university as well as the seven former fraternity brothers.

CBS News New York has reached out to all of the accused and, as of Friday afternoon, heard back from attorneys for two, who denied the allegations. A third man’s attorney has also publicly denied wrongdoing, according to The New York Times. Cornell University said in a statement that it conducted a “thorough Title IX investigation” over several months and it supports the Tompkins County district attorney’s decision to reopen the case.

“I’m more and more convinced there was a cover-up. I mean, at first I thought it was just bumbling, but now I think there was a cover-up. I think they were worried about protecting the reputation of the university. They were protecting the big source of revenue in the county,” he said.

The woman, who was a 20-year-old sophomore at the time, filed a report with Cornell University Police three weeks after the alleged rapes. Giuffra believes investigators failed to take basic steps, including interviewing witnesses identified in the fraternity’s group chat, questioning the men involved and securing their phones and other evidence while it was still fresh.

“Any case, civil, criminal, you get the evidence as close to the event as possible, and they just blew it. I was shocked, really,” he said, claiming that Cornell University Police “were in over their heads” handling a serious crime.

Gov. Kathy Hochul also said she was “deeply disturbed” by how Cornell Police and the Tompkins County district attorney handled the case, calling the department’s decision to send the D.A. the victim’s six-page sworn statement but not the full transcript “a failure” and criticizing the D.A. for not conducting any interviews. On Friday, Hochul named New York Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor in the case.

Giuffra said the lawsuit was filed after Jane Doe went through Cornell’s Title IX process and reached a point where she felt ready to move forward.

“We needed to make sure she was in the right space. There was a time period where she didn’t feel like she would be able to handle any backlash that came out of it, and she reached a place where she felt that she was ready. And that’s when we filed the lawsuit,” Giuffra said, adding that it took time to put together the 101-page complaint.

“The smoking gun”

A screengrab included in the lawsuit appears to show one of the defendants sent a message in a Snapchat group with dozens of fraternity members saying there was a woman upstairs for “free” sex.

“Look, that group chat went out to over 50 men. Not one of those 50 men did anything to stop it,” Giuffra believes.

Giuffra said the only person who did the right thing was the man who leaked the group chat, because without it, “we wouldn’t have the smoking gun.”

CBS News New York investigative reporter Mahsa Saeidi obtained screenshots of text messages between Jane Doe and one of the defendants sent just days after the alleged assault, in which Doe wrote that “none of the sexual stuff was illegal.” Giuffra confirmed she exchanged texts with this defendant shortly after the alleged assault, but he could not confirm specific exchanges.

The message has drawn scrutiny, with social media users questioning how it aligns with the allegations in the lawsuit.

Giuffra said she was initially going through denial. As rumors around campus began to spread, Jane Doe said she “came to the realization that [she] had been gang raped,” according to newly obtained records from the Title IX investigation.

Four out of the seven named in the lawsuit are specifically accused of rape.

“They’re not all gang rapists. They’re all sexual abusers, though,” Giuffra said, adding that the others also acted inappropriately and need to be held accountable.
