We're getting new insight into how Cornell University Police handled the case of an alleged fraternity gang rape back in 2024.

Cornell conducted an internal investigation that led to expulsions, suspensions and other sanctions. The response by law enforcement has come under new scrutiny, and prosecutors have now reopened their criminal investigation.

CBS News New York investigative reporter Mahsa Saeidi exclusively obtained a transcript of the alleged victim's interview with campus police from a source.

Jane Doe describes initial sexual activity, gaps in memory

The interview began on Nov. 14 - more than three weeks after the alleged gang rape - and continued the next day.

A campus police investigator led the questioning. A Title IX investigator, a victim advocate, and Jane Doe's adviser were also in the room for the first day of the interview.

According to the transcript, Jane Doe described drinking and using drugs the night of the alleged rape, and said she had gaps in her memory.

The transcript shows she distinguished the initial sexual activity from what she says happened later, and when asked whether she was OK with the initial encounter, she said,  Yeah, as much as I can be because, again, I was super drunk when I got there ... But I was pretty OK with all of this. 

Jane Doe added, according to the transcript,  And then, of course, I was being hit at the same time. Physically hit very, very hard. 

According to the transcript, she said she didn't remember the end of the night  where I was raped  and didn't know how many people had sex with her.

When describing what happened later in the night, the transcript says Jane Doe said,  I can say with 100% confidence I was raped. 

Investigator asked what Jane Doe told the men

The transcript shows that throughout the interview, the investigator asks questions as he prepares her written statement.

Before discussing what Jane Doe said when men asked her for sex, the transcript says the investigator warned her that his questions may sound accusatory, but said he needed specific answers to determine the right charges.
