What happens when a sexual assault investigation leaves more questions than answers? This week on The FratChat Podcast, we take a deep dive into the Cornell 7 Scandal, a disturbing case involving allegations of sexual assault, seven former Chi Phi fraternity members, and a series of decisions by Cornell University, campus police, and prosecutors that have raised serious questions about how the case was handled. We break down what was reported to have happened at the fraternity house, the woman’s account to investigators, Cornell’s internal disciplinary investigation, the punishments handed down by the university, and the criminal investigation that ended without charges. Then we get into the civil lawsuit that brought the case back into the national spotlight, the questions surrounding what information prosecutors actually received, and the decision to remove the local district attorney from the case. With New York Attorney General Letitia James now overseeing the criminal investigation and Cornell agreeing to an independent external review, we examine what happened, what went wrong, and what questions still remain unanswered. As always, the allegations discussed in this episode remain allegations and have not been proven in criminal court.
Plus, we kick things off with Emails from the Listeners, including a listener who discovers that the guy he is dating is actually his ex’s ex and another who is being pressured to get a vasectomy before getting married. In the News, we cover the absolutely insane botched execution in Tennessee that left the state scrambling after two doses of lethal injection failed to kill the inmate. And of course, we close things out with Not the Drag Queens, where Lauren Boebert’s son finds himself facing extremely serious charges involving the sexual exploitation of a child, making for a particularly uncomfortable case of the call coming from inside the house.Got a question, comment or topic for us to cover?
