Cornell: What we know about what Jane Doe told officials and friends about the alleged rape - and what the DA says he knew

In the three weeks between when a former Cornell University student was allegedly gang raped at a fraternity house to her describing the night to campus police, Jane Doe appeared to grapple with shame and her stance had evolved on whether an assault took place, according to records obtained exclusively by the New York Times and corroborated by Doe’s attorney. In an article published Thursday, the Times cited documents from the university’s formal Title IX investigation that shed new light on how Doe initially viewed the night’s events, discussed them with her roommates and communicated with some of the men before she reported the alleged sexual assault to university police. “Ms. Doe’s internal processing went from denial, to shame and ultimately acceptance that she had been raped by people that she thought were her friends,” her attorney, Thomas P. Giuffra, told CNN Thursday.
