What specific evidence did Matthew Ingalls provide to investigators regarding his involvement in the incident?
Matthew Ingalls, a brother who had invited Doe and was named in her civil suit, told investigators he had been too intoxicated to consent and suggested that Doe had assaulted him. He had previously denied any wrongdoing. During the school probe, he also messaged a witness on Snapchat asking if they could submit new evidence to get him and another member dismissed immediately, claiming that if the evidence was convincing enough to let them go, it would prove the accuser lied.

What role did New York Governor Kathy Hochul play in the legal progression of the rape allegations?
After the Tompkins County District Attorney, Matthew Van Houten, drew a hard line between the civil lawsuit and the original sworn statement (which described the conduct as consensual), Governor Kathy Hochul pulled the case from his office. She subsequently handed the criminal investigation to Attorney General Letitia James. Critics have argued that this move shifted the case from a local county matter to a high-profile political production under a Democratic brand name.
