Moonies Bar & Nightclub denies serving alcohol to the underage plaintiff in a Cornell fraternity rape lawsuit and has asked a New York court to dismiss every claim against it.

How did the initial police statement from the Cornell University Police in 2024 differ from the later transcripts obtained by CBS New York?
Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten initially declined to bring charges because a six-page sworn statement from the Cornell University Police in 2024 characterized the plaintiff's participation in drug use and sexual conduct as "voluntary, conscious, and consensual." However, a fuller transcript of the November 2024 police interviews later obtained by CBS New York included statements where the plaintiff distinguished the initial encounter from later activity and told investigators she had been raped.
