一名被告男子的律师表示，部分原因是因为原告律师的言论可能影响潜在陪审团成员，因此需要该命令。
A lawyer for one of the accused men said the order was needed in part because Jane Doe’s lawyer has made statements that could prejudice prospective jurors.
康奈尔大学2024年一起涉嫌在兄弟会住所集体强奸案中，一名被告男子的律师要求法官发布禁言令，限制当事人及其律师在法庭外的言论。
A lawyer for one of the accused men in the case brought by a woman who said she was gang-raped at a fraternity house at Cornell University in 2024 wants the judge to impose a gag order, limiting what parties and their attorneys can say outside of court.
此请求是在法院周五决定封存案件多份文件之后提出的，此前有投诉称，一名美国海军陆战队员及其家人因与其中一名被告同名而遭到骚扰，且其地址被误写入法院文件。
The request comes after the court decided Friday to seal several documents in the case after complaints that a U.S. Marine and his family were harassed because he shares the same name as one of the defendants and his address was mistakenly included in the court files.
该诉讼由一名前学生提起，在法庭文件中被标识为Jane Doe。她正起诉康奈尔大学、兄弟会、七名男子及其他人员。尽管尚未提起刑事指控，但纽约州长凯西·霍赫尔本月已任命特别检察官调查此案。
The lawsuit was brought by a former student, identified in court documents as Jane Doe. She is suing Cornell, the fraternity, seven men and others. No charges have been filed, though New York Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed a special prosecutor this month to look into the case.
被告男子之一的律师詹姆斯·诺克斯告诉法院，禁言令部分必要是因为Jane Doe的律师一直在向媒体发表可能影响“任何审判中潜在陪审团成员”的言论。“原告律师自提起诉讼以来一直在媒体上审理此案，”诺克斯写道。Jane Doe的律师周一未能立即置评。
James Knox, a lawyer for one of the accused men, told the court that the gag order was needed in part because Jane Doe’s lawyer has been making statements to the media that could prejudice “prospective jurors in any trial.”“Plaintiff’s counsel has been trying his case in the media since filing the lawsuit,” Knox wrote. Doe’s lawyer could not immediately be reached for comment on Monday.
