New York Attorney General Letitia James has appointed Jacqueline Kelly, a former federal prosecutor and Cornell alumna, to lead a criminal investigation into allegations of gang rape at a Cornell University fraternity house in 2024. Kelly, who previously oversaw the prosecution of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, will serve as outside counsel for the investigation. The investigation was prompted by a lawsuit filed by a former student, identified as Jane Doe, who accused several men of raping her at a fraternity party. Cornell University has faced criticism for its handling of the case, leading to a vote of no confidence in the university administration by the Faculty Senate. Kelly and her team will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and analyze the facts and applicable law, reporting directly to James.
