据其律师周日表示,这名指控被康奈尔大学学生下药并强奸的女性已成为威胁的目标。

she was drugged and raped by Cornell University students has been the target of threats, her lawyer said on Sunday.

代表这位被称为“简·多伊”的女性的律师托马斯·朱弗拉告诉CNN,如果她不撤回民事诉讼,有人威胁要让她闭嘴或伤害她。

该诉讼指控康奈尔大学某兄弟会的几名成员在2024年对她下药并实施强奸。

Thomas Giuffra, who represents the woman identified as “Jane Doe”, told CNN that people have threatened to silence or harm her if she does not withdraw her civil lawsuit alleging that several members of a Cornell fraternity drugged and raped her in 2024.

朱弗拉在CNN的《国情咨文》节目中表示:“她收到了多次威胁。”朱弗拉称他自己也受到了威胁。他说:“我不怕这些人。

“She’s received multiple threats,” Giuffra said on CNN’s State of the Union. Giuffra said he had also been threatened. “I’m not afraid of these people,” he said.

但为了掩盖真相、维持现状而进行的威胁和虐待——这些人令人作呕。他们应该待在他们母亲的地下室里,远离这个世界。”

康奈尔大学校长迈克尔·科特利科夫周六在一段视频信息中表示,在对学校处理性侵指控的方式引发强烈抗议后,大学将审查校园内兄弟会和姐妹会的作用。

“But the threats, the abuse to protect what’s going on, the status quo – these guys are disgusting. They should stay in their mother’s basement and stay out of the world.“The Cornell University president, Michael Kotlikoff, said in a video message on Saturday that the university will examine the role of fraternities and sororities on campus after the outcry over the school’s handling of the rape allegations.

他说:“在最好的情况下,这些组织可以为学生提供友谊、归属感、指导以及强大的社区感。但成为团体的一部分绝不能削弱个人的责任。”

“At their best, these organizations can provide students with friendship, belonging, mentorship and a powerful sense of community,” he said. “But being part of a group can never diminish individual responsibility.”

自9月提起诉讼以来,纽约州汤普金斯县(康奈尔大学所在地)的检察官因最初处理2024年指控的方式而受到批评。

Since the lawsuit was filed in September, prosecutors in Tompkins county, New York – where Cornell is – have been criticized for their initial handling of the allegations in 2024.

纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔周四任命州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯为特别检察官,以调查此案。

The New York governor, Kathy Hochul, on Thursday named state attorney general Letitia James as special prosecutor to look into the case.

多年来一直批评詹姆斯的唐纳德·特朗普猛烈抨击了这一任命决定。

Donald Trump, a critic of James for years, lambasted the decision to appoint her.

特朗普周五告诉记者:“我为她正在调查的人感到难过,因为他们不会得到公正的对待。”当被问及特朗普的评论时,朱弗拉表示此案不应被政治化。他说:“这与政治毫无关系。”

“And I feel badly for whoever she’s looking at because they won’t get a fair shake,” the president told reporters on Friday. Asked about Trump’s comment, Giuffra said the case shouldn’t be politicized. “It has nothing to do with politics,” Giuffra said.
