NY AG to Review Cornell's Response to Rape Allegations as Victim's Lawyer Alleges Cover-Up

Cornell University's response to allegations of a gang rape will be reviewed by the New York Attorney General's office, CBS News and The Jerusalem Post reported. The review follows the publication of message exchanges between a former student and one of the defendants shortly after the incident.

Meanwhile, the complainant's attorney accused the university of a cover-up, arguing that administrators prioritized protecting the school's reputation and that campus police failed in their investigation. According to CNN, the student stated that she felt a lack of urgency when reporting the assault, and told investigators that she felt "like bait."
