New York appoints attorney general to oversee Cornell gang rape probe
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has appointed Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor to investigate an alleged gang rape at Cornell University in 2024.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has appointed State Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor to investigate an alleged gang rape at Cornell University in 2024. Hochul said she had lost faith in the local Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten's investigation of the case. James said the alleged victim 'deserves to know that every fact will be examined and justice pursued'. The appointment comes after dozens of students gathered at a campus forum to demand accountability and criticise the university's response to the sexual assault allegations involving fraternity members.
