the Cornell code of conduct relates, I am sure, to why she is suing Cornell. Anyway, I’ve just seen a report that says she distinguishes between what happened earlier in the night and what happened later, that the DA apparently never received from Cornell Police.
According to a transcript of the alleged victim’s interview with campus police, obtained by CBS News New York’s Mahsa Saeidi from a source, Jane Doe distinguished the initial sexual activity from what she says happened later in the night.
She described drinking and using drugs the night of the alleged rape, and said she had gaps in her memory, according to the transcript.
When asked whether she was OK with the initial encounter, she said, “Yeah, as much as I can be because, again, I was super drunk when I got there … But I was pretty OK with all of this.”
When describing what happened later in the night, the transcript says Jane Doe said, "I can say with 100% confidence I was raped."
Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten told CBS News Tuesday night that he was never provided the full transcripts of those initial interviews Jane Doe conducted with Cornell school police.
He said the sworn statement submitted to his office in November 2024 made no mention of the statements that were made in the transcript obtained by CBS News New York, specifically Doe telling school investigators, “I can say with 100 percent confidence I was raped.”
Maybe a reminder for those who need it, consent can be given and then it can be withdrawn.
