New York Attorney General Letitia James has been appointed as a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of a gang rape at Cornell University, marking a significant escalation in the case. The decision follows a months-long review by state officials after the university’s handling of the complaint was widely criticized. James’s involvement suggests a potential shift in how such high-profile cases are examined, with implications for both the accused and the institution. The move comes as survivors’ advocates push for greater accountability in campus sexual assault investigations.
