Reports of comments made by Jane Doe to Cornell University police in 2024 when she first went to school officials with allegations she was gang raped are raising new questions about what law enforcement knew at the time. Doe told police she was okay with an initial encounter, but that later in the night she did not consent and believed she was raped. She also described being physically hit. The revelations raise new questions as to why law enforcement did not file criminal charges at the time of the incident and what the district attorney’s office was aware of regarding the assault allegations, as calls grow for answers in light of Doe’s civil lawsuit filed this month.

What they're saying: "At no point during our evaluation did we find reasonable grounds to believe that a violation of federal criminal law had occurred requiring a referral to the U.S. Attorney General," the Office of Inspector General wrote in the report. - The watchdog added that it "did not identify administrative misconduct during our evaluation."…
The Massachusetts attorney general released a report Wednesday documenting more than 270 Catholic clerics accused of sexually abusing 944 children across three dioceses — but the investigation will result in no new indictments. Why it matters: The dioceses created an illusion of safety while church leaders repeatedly exploited loopholes to protect the institution's reputation, systematically concealing staggering levels of abuse.
