Cornell students hold sit-in protesting handling of 2024 assault allegations

Cornell University students held a seven-hour sit-in Wednesday to protest the university's handling of allegations that Jane Doe was sexually assaulted by members of the Chi Phi fraternity nearly two years ago. Records show Doe gave her account of the incident to a university hearing panel seven months after the alleged assault. Attorney Mark Geragos said the case is "a lot more complex" than people think, calling it "a tough, tough mountain to climb if you're a prosecutor."
