记录显示，该兄弟会当时十分担忧“所有相关人员的声誉”会受到影响。
The frat was concerned about "the reputation of all involved," records show.
据ABC新闻查阅的校方记录显示，2024年康奈尔大学发布全校警报，告知学生校内某兄弟会发生强奸事件。次日，校警局接到匿名举报称，Chi Phi兄弟会的领导层要求一名潜在目击者保持沉默，理由是如果事件细节在校园内传开，“所有相关人员以及兄弟会的声誉都将毁于一旦”。
One day after a campus-wide alert notified students about a reported rape at a Cornell University fraternity in 2024, the school's police department received a tip from an anonymous caller saying that the Chi Phi's fraternity's leadership asked a potential witness to stay quiet because "the reputation of all involved and the frat would be ruined" if details of the incident spread across campus, according to the school records reviewed by ABC News.
ABC新闻率先获得的视频显示，此后几天，康奈尔大学的调查人员开始就兄弟会成员是否存在掩盖事实的行为向目击者展开询问。
Videos first obtained by ABC News showed that Cornell investigators in the following days began questioning witnesses about a potential coverup by the fraternity brothers.
“Chi Phi兄弟会召开了会议，目的是让所有成员对事件经过达成共识。我可以肯定地说，当时有群聊信息在讨论此事，”一名女学生向调查人员说道。
"Chi Phi held a meeting essentially to get all of the men on the same page about what happened. I know for a fact there are group me messages about the situation," one female student told investigators.
这名女学生还向调查人员透露，兄弟会成员将该事件描述为一场“双方自愿的群交”，但又担心这会“损害他们的形象”。本案的核心当事人是一名仅被称作“简·多伊”的本科生，她在事件发生三周后的2024年11月向校警局报案，称自己在Chi Phi兄弟会会所遭到8至10名男子强奸。
That student told investigators that the fraternity brothers described the incident as a "consensual orgy" but expressed concern that it "would be bad for [their] image." The woman at the center of the case, an undergraduate student identified only as Jane Doe, originally made a complaint to campus police in November 2024, three weeks after the incident occurred, that she had been raped by 8-10 men at the Chi Phi fraternity house.
这起案件如今在康奈尔大学引发轩然大波，也引发了全美高校关于性侵事件处理方式的广泛讨论。
The case has now rocked the university and started conversations about treatment of alleged sexual assault on college campuses across the country.
据ABC新闻查阅的相关资料显示，2024年期间，康奈尔大学警方对至少两名兄弟会成员进行了询问，内容涉及该事件以及兄弟会内部的沟通情况。其中一名成员称，该事件仅在一次例会中被非正式地提及，当时兄弟会成员正在讨论“本周最佳兄弟”和“本周最笨蛋”评选事宜。
In 2024, Cornell police officers interviewed at least two fraternity members about the incident and what communication took place within the organization, according to materials reviewed by ABC News. One of the brothers said the incident only came up informally during a meeting when the fraternity discussed their "brother of the week and idiots of the week."
“我们并没有专门为此召开会议，”他说道，“那只是我们每周例行的会面，会上处理了诸多事务。”ABC新闻还查阅了部分兄弟会成员的短信记录，这些信息似乎反映出在康奈尔大学暂停该兄弟会活动后，成员们急于设法控制事态发展的情形。
"We didn't have a meeting about it specifically," he said. "It was our weekly chapter meeting. We got through a bunch of stuff." ABC News also reviewed text messages from some of the fraternity brothers that appear to show a scramble to contain the fallout after Cornell suspended the chapter.
“你最后一次和[简·多伊]联系是什么时候？”兄弟会会长在短信中询问马修·英格尔斯。正是英格尔斯邀请简·多伊到会所以后，她遭到了涉嫌性侵。
"When was the last time you spoke to [Jane Doe]?" the fraternity's president wrote in the messages to fraternity member Matthew Ingalls, who invited Jane Doe to the house before participating in the alleged assault.
“昨天……接下来有什么应对计划？”英格尔斯回复道，“我该给她打电话吗？我觉得她应该不会举报这件事。”所有七名被指控的兄弟会成员均否认自己有任何不当行为。尚未被指控犯罪的英格尔斯也未回应外界就该事件提出的置评请求。据ABC新闻查阅的记录显示，他后来向调查人员表示，事发当晚自己醉酒至无法做出同意行为，并把自己描绘成这起事件的受害者。
"Yesterday ... what's the plan of action?" Ingalls replied. "Should I call [her]? I don't think she would have reported this." All seven of the accused fraternity members have denied all wrongdoing. Ingalls, who has not been charged with a crime, has not responded to requests for comment about the incident. According to records reviewed by ABC News, he later told investigators that he was too intoxicated to consent that night and portrayed himself as the victim in the incident.
2025年2月，英格尔斯在给康奈尔大学《第九条》事务调查员的邮件中指责校方实施“诱捕手段”，还暗示自己可能会对简·多伊提出反诉。
In an email to Cornell's Title IX investigator in February 2025, Ingalls accused the school of "entrapment" and suggested he might file his own complaint against Jane Doe.
“毕竟，早在11月份你就收到了消息，称我在失去意识的状态下遭到了她的性侵，可你却从未想过提醒我作为性侵受害者在此类程序下所享有的权利。”英格尔斯在一封经ABC新闻核实的电子邮件中写道。“如今到了2月份我才不得不向你提及此事，这一事实恰恰印证了我最担心的情况：整个处理流程充斥着性别歧视。”目前，化名“简·多伊”的受害者已就此事提起民事诉讼，纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯也正在对这起事件展开调查。
"After all, you received information that I was sodomized by her while I was incapacitated back in November, and you never once thought to alert me of my rights under these procedures as a survivor of this assault?" Ingalls wrote in an email reviewed by ABC News. "The very fact that I had to bring this to your attention now in February confirms my worst fears: that this process is rolled [sic] with gender discrimination." Jane Doe has filed a civil suit in the case, and the New York attorney general, Letitia James, is conducting an investigation into the incident.
