a lot of people are bringing up what she texted the guys afterwards so i wanna clarify: this is called a fawn response. it’s part of the fight or flight response. she even stated she was trying to be nice because she wanted to know what happened to her, and was still in denial about what happened- common after experiencing rape. it can take days, weeks, to realize what happened because rape is often depicted in one specific way.

I have never said that the men are innocent. Really I think everyone involved in this is nasty. They deserve to be presumed innocent, and have their guilt proven in a court because that’s how the judicial system functions. If we base our society solely on the court of public opinion, how do you honestly think that would turn out? You honestly need to reconsider college if you do not understand the basic concepts of why our judicial system works the way it does.

Her saying she was raped and it legally qualifying as rape are two different things. Her son statement in 2024, made it sound consensual in every aspect. Also, Cornell did what they were supposed to.

That statement never reached the district attorney’s office. We can speculate as to why. And again the claim of rape does not mean it is legal legally rape. Cornell did not just give them essays. There were suspensions and expulsions, but again we do not know their exact reasoning behind their actions. Cornell acts as a business. She received some type of service from Cornell. It makes no sense for them to give her her money back because of a situation outside of their control.

Maybe because she was being socially ostracized or maybe she wanted money through the civil lawsuit.

Regardless of how people personally feel about the situation, the fact is that everyone is claiming openly and posting about the men who allegedly did this. A trial needs to take place and allegations towards men should be taken just a serious because regardless of whether they are guilty or not, the allegation alone is life ruining.

Her original statement is not valid according to the DA. He recognized that she was traumatized and since she has healed he reopened the case.
