New York Governor Criticizes Handling of Cornell Rape Case
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has criticized the handling of a rape case at Cornell University, where a woman claims she was drugged and raped in 2024. Dissatisfied with local prosecutors, Hochul appointed Attorney General Letitia James to lead the investigation. She also seeks to close a legal loophole that complicates prosecuting cases where victims voluntarily consumed alcohol or drugs.
