Cornell Transcript Shows Jane Doe Told Police She Was Raped With 100% Confidence

Summary
A newly obtained Cornell police transcript shows Jane Doe told investigators in November 2024, “I can say with 100% confidence I was raped,” and later signed a six-page statement saying she was “very confident about this.”
The interview began more than three weeks after the alleged gang rape and stretched over two days, with a campus police investigator typing her account, reading it back word for word, and giving her chances to revise it.
The transcript says Jane Doe described drinking and drug use, memory gaps, and a distinction between initial sexual activity she said she was “pretty OK” with and later acts during which she said she was hit “very, very hard.”
Tompkins County’s district attorney has said Jane Doe’s signed 2024 statement was central to his decision not to bring charges, a choice now facing renewed scrutiny as Cornell’s handling of the case is reexamined.
