On September 29, 2026, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten reopened the 2024 investigation into an alleged gang rape at Cornell's Chi Phi fraternity house and said a senior prosecutor will present the case to a grand jury. He cites a six-page statement Jane Doe signed in November 2024 that he says differs substantially from her 101-page lawsuit; her attorney disputes that the statement differs. Reporting has since surfaced a 120-page campus police interview transcript in which Doe said she was "100 percent" confident she was raped, and the DA says he never saw that quote, the Snapchat screenshot, or her police interview transcript before declining charges. His office never interviewed Doe, and he now wants her to testify.
