Let me go ahead and take one final stab at explaining what happened at Cornell because with all the numbers it can get confusing Here’s all the men and their role in this: - male number 1 is the guy she was into who she went to see after choosing to pregame and get drunk. They met up at his frat house. After the whole encounter she texted him trying to make plans to hook up again but just the two of them this time. There’s no way to assume anything other than consent here. He was in the first and third threesome - male number 2 is the guy 1 proposed having a threesome with after she arrived. She told the police this idea excited her because she thought they might both be gay for eachother. She agreed enthusiastically. Her claimed intoxication level at this point is a few beers. We have to reasonably assume consent here especially given NY’s laws on this. He was in the first and second threesome - male number 3 is who’s room that 80% of the story went down in. He participated in the second threesome with male number 2 in his room, after 1 passed out. He asked to come into the room and she agreed because it was his room. She was on some ketamine at this point but agreed to it. Second threesome consensual - male number 4 is who you can make the best case committed rape. Not a good case, just better than the rest against whom you cannot make a case. At some point one of them texted the Snapchat “free pussy” and four guys came in, 4, 5, 6, 7. She hid under the covers because she became uncomfortable. When they came in 2 offered her more ketamine and she agreed because she’d already done it earlier so “why not”. She did the ketamine off 2’s erect dick in front of all of them. 4 suggested she let everyone do ketamine off her naked body. She said “sure”. After all this insanity, at some point 3 tried to kick everyone out his room. 5 or 6 (they have the same first name so it’s unclear which she meant) told her she can sit down as long as she needed to because she got dizzy from her medical condition and the ketamine but eventually 3 kicked them out and got his room back. 4 then went upstairs with 1 and her and they had the third threesome. She can’t remember how that happened. She doesn’t claim she was unconscious. She doesn’t claim she said no. She can’t remember. - Male number 5 and 6 were literally just in the room from when they got the snap to when they all got kicked out by 3. It’s unclear if they did drugs off her body but she consented to everyone doing it so it wouldn’t matter. Nothing else happened - Male number 7 tried to kiss her and said some rude things to her as soon as he walked into the room after the snap went out. She immediately shut it down. He never had sex with her. She didn’t want to have sex with him and even at this stage of intoxication was able to indicate she wasn’t interested and it was respected. Here’s all the threesomes and their context: First: 1 & 2, the least debatable and most defensible. She wanted it and said so and joked and chose it. 1 eventually passes out from drinking too much Second: 2 & 3 after 1 passes out, she fools around with 2 for a bit before 3 comes into his room and she lets him join and it’s all consensual. 1 wakes up part way through and asks to join and make it a foursome. She says “hell no” because she knew that meant anal and she didn’t want anal. So 1 didn’t join and no one had anal with her. Her boundary was stated and respected. Third: after everyone is kicked out of 3s room, 1 & 4 go into another room with her. She chooses this and still wants 1 alone, 1 on 1. But 4 is there for some reason too. She has no memory of what happened, but they had the threesome. The day after she texts 1 again trying to hook up alone with him so we can assume she consented with 1. 4 is a question mark but she doesn’t remember enough to say she didn’t consent because the ketamine she took voluntarily scrambled her memory nytimes.com/interactive/2026…
