These New "Cornell 7" Texts Are REVEALING

A single text message from the alleged victim in the Cornell 7 case reads: “At the end of the day, none of the sexual stuff was illegal, and honestly, I really liked being with you and Matt.” That message, sent to one of the seven men she would later accuse of gang rape, was written just two days after the October 2024 fraternity party at the center of the case. Now, as a civil lawsuit moves forward against Cornell University and the public has already branded the seven men as rapists online, newly released text messages and police statements tell a far more complicated story—one that has shifted dramatically over time.

The Initial Account: What Jane Doe Said in 2024

According to documents obtained by the New York Times and ABC News, the night of October 19–20, 2024, began with Jane Doe attending a party at the Kai Fi fraternity house at Cornell. She consumed ketamine and had sex with multiple men. When she returned to her dorm around 11:15 AM the next day, still in her boots and small dress, she told her roommates she had consumed ketamine and had sex with multiple men. She did not use the words “rape” or “assault.” One roommate told investigators that Jane Doe seemed to be recounting it as “a sort of crazy thing that she had done.”
