In October 2024 a Cornell student said she'd been drugged and sexually assaulted at a fraternity house. No one was charged and the university held its hearings in private. Two years later a civil lawsuit turned it into a national story and got the case reopened.
This isn't a whodunit. It's a careful, evidence-led look at how one night became a set of competing records, from a police statement and a prosecutor's summary to a confidential university file, a lawsuit and an online verdict, and why those records never agreed. Along the way it looks at what the science of alcohol and memory can and can't tell us, and at a gap in New York's rape law.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (160 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
