州长凯茜·霍楚尔任命纽约州总检察长，调查一名康奈尔大学前学生提出的指控：数名男子曾对她实施性侵。
Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed the New York State attorney general to investigate allegations by a former Cornell University student that several men sexually assaulted her.
州长凯茜·霍楚尔任命纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯担任特别检察官，调查一名女子关于自己在2024年10月于康奈尔大学校园内遭到强奸的指控。
Gov. Kathy Hochul has named Letitia James, the New York State attorney general, to serve as special prosecutor to investigate a woman’s allegation that she was raped on Cornell University’s campus in October 2024.
霍楚尔女士在周四晚间发表的一份声明中说，她将指派已经开始审查执法部门处理此案方式的詹姆斯女士，监督汤普金斯县的调查工作。
In a statement on Thursday night, Ms. Hochul said that she would be assigning Ms. James, who had already begun a review of the way law enforcement handled the matter, to oversee the investigation in Tompkins County.
“新信息引出了有关此案处理方式的严重疑问，而我已经不再相信汤普金斯县地方检察官有能力公正监督调查，”霍楚尔女士说。
“New information has raised serious questions about how this case was handled, and I’ve lost faith in the Tompkins County D.A.’s ability to fairly oversee it,” Ms. Hochul said.
她补充道：“这起案件的核心是一名年轻女子，她有权知道，每一项事实都将得到审查，正义也将得到伸张。”周四上午，《纽约时报》 published 了这名女子在向警方报案前数周的艰难经历，此前她从学校内部调查程序中获得了1000多页材料。
She added, “The young woman at the center of this case deserves to know that every fact will be examined and justice pursued.”On Thursday morning, The New York Times published a detailed account of the woman’s weeks of struggle before she reported the incident, after obtaining more than 1,000 pages from the university’s internal inquiry.
在上个月提交的一份诉讼文件中，这名身份仅以“简·多伊”公布的女子称，她20岁、还是大学二年级学生时，被人灌酒并下药，随后在Chi Phi兄弟会会馆遭到数名男子强奸。几周后，她向康奈尔大学警察局报告了此事，但没有提出刑事指控。
In a lawsuit filed last month, the woman, identified as Jane Doe, said that when she was a 20-year-old sophomore, she was plied with alcohol and drugs and then raped by multiple men at the Chi Phi fraternity house. She reported the incident to the Cornell University Police Department several weeks later, but no criminal charges were filed.
七名被指控男子中至少三人的律师发表了声明，否认存在任何犯罪行为。本周，汤普金斯县地方检察官马修·范·豪滕表示，他的办公室将重新调查针对简·多伊的指控。
Lawyers for at least three of the seven accused men have issued statements denying criminal wrongdoing. This week, Matthew Van Houten, the Tompkins County district attorney, said his office would reopen the investigation into Jane Doe’s allegations.
范·豪滕先生曾为本办公室在2024年的工作辩护。本周，他在的一份声明中说，该女子最初向警方作出的陈述似乎不足以支持刑事指控。
Mr. Van Houten has defended his office’s work in 2024. In a statement this week, he said that the original statement the woman gave to police did not seem to warrant criminal charges.
“2024年11月，简·多伊在宣誓陈述中并未称自己是在违背意愿的情况下被下药或遭到轮奸，”他在声明中说。
“Jane Doe’s sworn statement in November of 2024 did not allege that she was drugged against her will or gang raped,” he said in the statement.
范·豪滕表示，他的办公室只审阅了康奈尔警方提供的一份六页报告。但近日，随着当局当时掌握了哪些信息逐渐公开，范·豪滕决定不予起诉此案的做法遭到了公众的强烈反弹。
Mr. Van Houten has said that his office only reviewed a six-page report provided by Cornell police. But in recent days, as more information about what the authorities knew became public, Mr. Van Houten’s decision to not prosecute the case has faced a wave of public backlash.
批评声浪的核心，是曝光了这名女子当时向警方作出的陈述。她在陈述中表示：“我可以百分之百确信自己遭到了强奸。”尽管这份六页陈述说明，她认为当晚发生的一些事情构成了犯罪，但它遗漏了对其采访笔录中记载的更为明确的措辞。这是一起仍在发展的事件。请继续关注后续报道。斯特法诺斯·陈为报道作出贡献。
At the center of the criticism has been the revelation that the woman, in her statements to the police at the time, said that she could say “with 100 percent confidence I was raped.”While the six-page statement explained that she felt some of the night’s events were a crime, it omitted the more definitive language detailed in an transcription of her interview with investigators. This is a developing story. Check back for updates. Stefanos Chen contributed reporting.
