Cornell’s Jane Doe Is 'Terrified' After Swatting Incident at Her Home, Lawyer Says

Her lawyer says dozens of threats and a swatting call followed a 101-page lawsuit alleging rape by members of Cornell’s Chi Phi fraternity.

  • On Tuesday evening, police swarmed the family home of Cornell student Jane Doe after receiving a bogus tip that "someone was killing people in the house," according to her lawyer, Thomas Giuffra.
  • Threats escalated after Doe filed a lawsuit in mid-September alleging she was raped at a Chi Phi fraternity house in 2024, prompting online campaigns to uncover her redacted identity.
  • Giuffra detailed an escalating series of violent threats in a Wednesday interview, noting Doe has been taping paper over her windows after receiving a text message with gun emojis.
  • New York Attorney General's office took over the investigation, while Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff acknowledged "mounting frustration" during a Monday meeting following a seven-hour student sit-in on Wednesday.
  • Doe's academic career is "lost," as she left the Nolan School of Hotel Administration following the alleged assault, while scrutiny intensifies over how the university and private police initially handled her claims.
