Cornell University’s Jane Doe drops her civil lawsuit against Orazio Petito, a former fraternity leader, according to multiple reports. The plaintiff had identified Petito as the Chi Phi president at the time of the alleged gang-rape, but she later says the identification was mistaken.

ABC News and other outlets report the case is being removed from the lawsuit, without presenting new criminal charges or specifying any settlement terms. The reporting also notes that the plaintiff has released a new letter addressing the matter, including criticism directed at Cornell’s president, though details vary by outlet’s emphasis.

The accounts agree on the core procedural change: Petito is no longer part of the civil action stemming from the allegations made by Jane Doe as a Cornell student. Other coverage centers on the plaintiff’s communication and dispute over institutional handling rather than on additional case facts or broader legal outcomes, which are not detailed in the provided summaries.
