Cornell University case says he never saw transcript of campus police interview with alleged rape victim
xCruzo Brief
Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten said he never saw a transcript of an interview between an alleged rape victim and Cornell University campus police before his office declined to pursue criminal charges. The transcript, obtained exclusively by CBS News New York, includes the victim telling investigators more than three weeks after the Oct. 19-20, 2024 alleged fraternity gang rape: “I can say with 100% confidence I was raped.” Van Houten said that would be new information and characterized the alleged victim’s wording as a legal conclusion he had not received. Cornell’s internal investigation led to expulsions and suspensions, and prosecutors have reopened the case amid new scrutiny.
