法官援引了“关于某些恶意行为者行为的广泛报道”。纽约一名法官周五裁定,被称为“简·多伊”的康奈尔大学前学生可以在保持匿名的情况下,继续对该大学及七名兄弟会成员提起的性侵指控诉讼。
The judge cited "widespread reports of certain malicious actors' behavior." A judge in New York on Friday decided the former Cornell University student known as Jane Doe can pursue her sexual assault claim against the university and seven fraternity members while remaining anonymous.
以化名进行诉讼的许可并非自动获得,但法官表示,“指控的知名度以及关于某些恶意行为者行为的广泛报道”使得匿名审理成为必要。
Permission to proceed in litigation under a pseudonym is not automatic, but the judge said "the notoriety of the allegations and widespread reports of certain malicious actors' behavior" warranted anonymity.
法官的裁决同时向那些威胁简·多伊及其他与案件有关人员的人发出了警告。
The judge's decision came with a warning to those who have threatened Jane Doe and others connected to the case.
“尽管法庭知悉,部分公众成员已将试图揭露简·多伊身份视为己任,并同样试图利用他们自认为是简·多伊的身份信息,骚扰和威胁据称与她有关联的某些个人,法庭特此发出如下警示:网络跟踪以及跨州实施或鼓励威胁行为,无论针对简·多伊、任何被告还是他们的律师,均可被视为联邦犯罪,实施这些行为的人可能会使自己面临起诉。”法官菲德拉·佩里-邦德在意见书中写道。
"While the Court is cognizant that some members of the public have made it their mission to try and identify Jane Doe, and have likewise tried to use what they believe to be Jane Doe's identity to harass and threaten certain individuals allegedly tied to her, the Court issues the following words of caution: cyberstalking and engaging in or encouraging threats across state lines, whether it be of Jane Doe, any of the named defendants, or their attorneys, can be considered a federal crime and perpetrators of those acts may be subjecting themselves to prosecution," Judge Phaedra Perry-Bond wrote in her opinion.
简·多伊提起民事诉讼,指控自己于2024年10月在奇·菲(Chi Phi)兄弟会会所内被下药并遭轮奸。诉讼中点名的七名男子均否认有不当行为,目前该案尚未提出刑事指控。
Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit alleging she had been drugged and gang-raped at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. All seven men named in the lawsuit have denied wrongdoing and no criminal charges have been filed in the case.
她的律师托马斯·吉乌夫拉此前曾告诉美国广播公司(ABC News)新闻部,简·多伊及其家人一直遭受威胁、人肉搜索及其他形式的骚扰。
Her attorney, Thomas Giuffra, has previously told ABC News that Jane Doe and her family have been subjected to threats, doxxing and other forms of harassment.
由凯西·霍楚尔州长任命的纽约州总检察长莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯正在对该事件进行调查。康奈尔大学表示全力支持特别检察官的任命,并正在对其针对这些指控的回应进行内部调查。
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who was appointed by Gov. Kathy Hochul, is conducting an investigation into the incident. Cornell, which said it fully supports the appointment of a special prosecutor, is also conducting an internal probe of its response to the allegations.
这起案件震动了该大学,并在全国各地的大学校园内引发了关于如何处理性侵指控的讨论。
The case has rocked the university and started conversations about treatment of sexual assault allegations on college campuses across the country.
康奈尔大学表示,它“极其重视”性暴力指控,并称已“根据大学政策对指控进行了调查和裁决”。与此同时,该大学表示致力于采取更多措施改善校园安全。
Cornell has said it takes allegations of allegations of sexual violence "extremely seriously" and that it "investigated and adjudicated the allegations consistent with university policies." At the same time, the university has said it is committed to taking additional steps to improve campus safety.
