A transcript reported by CBS New York, and echoed by multiple outlets, describes a woman’s statement to Cornell University police that she was “100% confident” she was raped. The statement comes from an interview conducted weeks after an incident she later alleges involved sexual assault by seven men connected to a Cornell fraternity.
The transcript is tied to a lawsuit filed by the woman. Several outlets report that the transcript has not been publicly released, relying instead on CBS New York’s account of what it contains. The reporting also frames renewed scrutiny around earlier decisions related to charging. One outlet specifically notes questions about a local district attorney’s decision not to prosecute at the time, while other outlets focus primarily on the certainty expressed in the police interview.
Overall, the outlets converge on the key point: in an interview with investigators two years ago, the woman told police she could say with “100%” confidence that she was raped, and this is now being discussed in the context of the ongoing civil case.
