Can't sign a contract when intoxicated or mentally impaired. Very biased to have a law protecting  abusers 100% when the victim loses mental capacity.

This law never should have been written. Outmoded ??? Why wasn't it ever changed???

Repulsive law and behavior.

If I'm drunk and get robbed, that robbery was a crime.  The (accused) rapists have no right to feel exonerated simply because the victim was intoxicated or drugged and they were kicked out of school or had to write an essay.  Get 'em Letitia!

It's really weird how that law ever got passed. Which raises the question.... Did the crafters of that law intend it to be able to dismiss their own sexual behaviors?

Other schools around the country need to take note of what is going on at Cornell to keep a similar scenario from happening at their school.

Cornell needs to explain why she was not given a tuition refund.

Letitia James 👏🏼👏🏽👏🏻👏

Cornell deserves whatever they get, I how their alumni insist on completely changing it’s administration. Student should all stop payments until it happens

Harry, with all due respect, what women need right now is for men like you to brainstorm about how to overcome whatever the old NY law states. We need solutions, not a surrender to whatever this unjust law is.

Nice.

I am glad the D.A. has chosen to reopened this case. I hope thoughtful jurists get selected. I hope they get all of the facts and instruction on all of the law and render their verdict, and I hope the people is satisfied with it. Any way you slice it, presumption of innocence is a human right. Due process is law. The burden of proof for establishing guilt is beyond a reasonable doubt borne by the prosecution. And the defendants constitutional rights to counsel and to confront their accusers. Everybody with me?

Purity demanded of girls and women, but boys and men get a free pass on sexual activity. I hope the Cornell and LSU football player accusations blow up patriarchy.

It's only the 3rd or 4th week of school....😢

I’m glad this girl is finally getting some justice! Now can we address this behavior among college men? This isn’t the first time this has happened. In fact, it’s the culture that is accepted on college campuses. The fact that so many guys responded immediately shows that there’s a cultural that finds this acceptable and blames the victim. This has been going on a long time and it should be stopped.

Woman was drugged and  assaulted  for 7 hours!!!!  And the people who did it got slapped on the wrist oh hell no!!!!!

International justice system... the world is watching.

What is NY law about mandated reporter standards?

Cornell, an essay? Really?

If she does half the job she did on trump those boys are cooked.

when i was at university, i always felt comfortable going to parties and getting absolutely ripped-to-the-tits on substances many and various, because i never worried that maybe somebody might rape me.

everybody deserves that freedom. it’s a horrendous state of affairs that we’ve allowed half of us to endure the threat of sex assault for so long. to my mind it implies that it’s boys, not girls, who’ve needed formal finishing school, the whole time
