金伯利·克鲁西 一名女子提起诉讼,称她在康奈尔大学的一个兄弟会会所遭到七名男子的性侵。据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻纽约台获得的一份笔录显示,事发生数周后,她告诉警方,她可以“百分之百确定自己遭到了强奸”。

KIMBERLEE KRUESI A woman who filed a lawsuit saying she was sexually assaulted by seven men at a Cornell University fraternity house told police weeks after the incident that she could “say with 100% confidence I was raped,” according to a transcript obtained by CBS News New York.

这份尚未公开的笔录,对当地地区检察官当时决定不起诉任何人的决定提出了新的疑问。

The transcript, which has not been publicly released, raises new questions surrounding the local district attorney’s decision not to prosecute anyone at the time.

近日,汤普金斯县地区检察官马修·范霍滕坚称,该女子最初向警方提供的陈述中,并未指控她被下药、被剥夺同意能力或被迫发生性关系。但他也表示,基于该女子本月提交的诉讼中提供的新信息,他已重新开启调查。

In recent days, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten has maintained the woman’s first account to police didn’t include allegations that she was drugged, incapacitated beyond the ability to consent, or forced into sex. Yet, he also said he had reopened the investigation based on new information in the woman’s lawsuit, which was filed this month.

该女子最初在2024年10月19日发生的疑似袭击事件约三周后,前往康奈尔大学校园警察局报案,随后于2024年11月14日和15日再次前往接受询问。

The woman initially went to Cornell’s campus police about three weeks after the alleged attack that began on Oct. 19, 2024, then went back on Nov. 14 and 15, 2024, to be interviewed.

根据笔录,她对一名校园警察说:“是的,那是胁迫,是的。”据哥伦比亚广播新闻报道,她表示,在部分性虐待发生之前,她处于“完全且彻底丧失意识”的状态。

“Yes. It was coercion, yes,” she told a campus police officer, according to the transcript. According to CBS News, she said she was “completely and totally incapacitated” before some of the sexual abuse.

该女子承认,在2024年10月访问基菲兄弟会会所的那晚,她喝了酒并使用了毒品,且记忆存在空白。

The woman acknowledged she had been drinking alcohol and used drugs the night she visited the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024, and that she had gaps in her memory.

她还告诉警方,她起初与其中两名男子的性接触让她感到舒适,但对当晚稍后发生的事情并不接受,当时其他男子开始进入房间。

She also told police she was comfortable with an initial sexual encounter with two of the men, but not with what happened later in the night, when other men began to enter the room.

根据笔录,她对警方说:“然后,当然,我当时同时也在被打。被非常、非常用力地殴打。”她告诉调查人员:“我可以百分之百确定自己遭到了强奸。”

“And then, of course, I was being hit at the same time. Physically hit very, very hard,” she told police, according to the transcript. “I can say with 100% confidence I was raped,” she told investigators.

这名在诉讼中仅以化名简·多伊(Jane Doe)指代的女子于9月16日提起诉讼,称她在被强迫吸食氯胺酮(K粉)、吸大麻和饮酒后,在齐斐(Chi Phi)兄弟会会所遭到性侵。她说,当兄弟会成员对她实施性侵时,她已完全失去知觉。

The woman, identified only by the pseudonym Jane Doe in the lawsuit, filed a complaint Sept. 16 saying she was sexually assaulted at the Chi Phi fraternity house after being pressured into snorting ketamine, smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol. She became completely incapacitated while fraternity members were sexually assaulting her, she said.

地区检察官范豪滕(Van Houten)周三未立即回复美联社(The Associated Press)的电子邮件和电话留言,但他对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻(CBS News)表示,在其办公室拒绝提起指控时,他从未看过该女性的访谈笔录,而是依赖于一份由校园警察撰写但由原告签署的陈述书。

The district attorney, Van Houten, didn’t immediately respond to emails and phone messages from The Associated Press on Wednesday, but he told CBS News he never saw the transcript of the woman’s interview when his office declined to bring charges, and relied instead on a statement written by a campus police officer but signed by the accuser.

范豪滕已经公开发布了该陈述书的摘要,其中包含她的一些直接引语。他为自己办公室在2024年该女子首次报案后未进行深入调查的决定进行了辩护。

Van Houten has released a summary of that statement, with some of her direct quotes included. He has defended his office’s decision not to do additional investigation after the woman first came forward in 2024.

范豪滕本周早些时候对美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)表示:“当时没有任何疑问。没有必要再去寻找额外的信息,因为我们拥有警方从简·多伊那里收集到的所有信息,其中包括她所提供的非常详细、非常全面的陈述。”

“There were no question marks. There was no additional need to find information because we had all of the information that the police collected from Jane Doe through her very detailed, very comprehensive statement that she provided,” Van Houten told CNN earlier this week.

康奈尔大学(Cornell University)于2024年11月8日首次公开披露其正在调查该女子的指控,当天也是她首次向警方报案。校方当时向学生发送了一封电子邮件警报,警告称有人报告在一家兄弟会会所遭到性侵,并被胁迫吸毒。康奈尔大学于同日暂停了齐斐兄弟会的活动。

Cornell University first publicly disclosed that it was investigating the woman’s allegations on Nov. 8, 2024, the same day she first went to police. The school sent students an email alert warning them that a person had reported they had been sexually assaulted at a fraternity house and coerced into consuming drugs. Cornell suspended the Chi Phi fraternity the same day.

在2024年11月下旬给学生的另一份公开声明中,康奈尔大学校长迈克尔·科特利科夫(Michael Kotlikoff)表示,校园警察正在调查该兄弟会会所发生“令人深感不安的吸毒和性暴力指控”。

In another public statement to students in late November 2024, Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff said campus police were investigating “deeply disturbing allegations of drug abuse and sexual violence” at the fraternity house.

后来,康奈尔大学成立了一个专门负责处理校园性侵问题的特别工作组。然而,由于地方检察官决定不起诉,且该校的内部纪律调查过程未向公众公开,公众对这一事件的关注度逐渐减弱。

Later, Cornell appointed a task force designed to address sexual assault on campus. But with the district attorney’s decision not to pursue charges and the university’s internal disciplinary investigation being shielded from the public, attention on the matter waned.

康奈尔大学在本周的一份声明中表示,支持重新展开刑事调查的决定,并补充称该校自身的调查已经导致部分学生受到纪律处分或被开除。Chi Phi学生社团仍被禁止进入校园;不过该校以隐私保护为由,拒绝透露有关个别学生具体纪律处分的详细信息。

Cornell said in a statement this week that it supported the decision to reopen the criminal investigation, adding that its own investigation had led to some students being disciplined or expelled. The Chi Phi chapter remains barred from campus, but the university has declined to release more information on discipline for individual students, citing privacy rules.
