Hochul criticizes Cornell police, state reopens alleged fraternity rape probe
New York governor Kathy Hochul sharply criticized Cornell University police and the local district attorney on Oct. 2, saying the original campus investigation into a 2024 allegation of gang rape at a Chi Phi fraternity house was "deeply flawed." Hochul appointed Attorney General Letitia James to lead the state probe a day earlier, and state prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation while the Tompkins County DA said he will present about a half-dozen suspects to a grand jury.
