Cornell Accuser Faces New Legal Fight Over What She Can Say

A defense attorney for one of the men accused in the 'Cornell 7' civil lawsuit has requested a gag order to restrict public statements from all parties, citing concerns about jury prejudice. The request targets comments made by the accuser's attorney, Thomas Giuffra, who has publicly characterized the defendants as sexual abusers and accused the university of a cover-up. The case involves allegations of sexual assault at a fraternity house in 2024, which the defendants deny, with some alleging the accuser was the aggressor. While the District Attorney previously declined to charge, the New York Attorney General is now conducting a special investigation at the Governor's request.
