Cornell Sexual Assault Investigation to Be Reopened
After outrage over allegations in a lawsuit, the Tompkins County district attorney will revisit the decision not to pursue criminal charges against seven fraternity members.
ABC News
What the coverage shows
All five outlets focus on the reopening of the Cornell investigation, and three of them frame it explicitly as a sexual assault or gang-rape case. The New York Times is alone in saying the district attorney will revisit an earlier decision not to pursue charges against seven fraternity members, while Newsweek alone adds that the defendant’s lawyer is pushing back. ABC News is the only outlet here to foreground Cornell University’s response.
