Cornell frat house rape accuser 'under siege' online, says lawyer
A lawyer for Jane Doe says she is "not doing well" amid attempts to uncover her identity.
60 Minutes
What the coverage shows
Most outlets focus on Hochul’s personnel move in the Cornell case, especially her appointment of Letitia James and the shift to a new investigation. AP and 60 Minutes foreground Hochul’s own remarks about failures in protection and a possible gap in state consent law, while Politico is the only outlet here to frame the story around possible changes to state rape law. The Independent and Reason are the most opinionated in tone, with The Independent stressing James’s role and Reason claiming she has already suggested guilt.
