@cbsnews: Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten says his office was not given the results of Cornell University’s Title IX process, which he said is confidential. Cornell conducted a Title IX investigation into allegations that a former student was raped at a fraternity house in 2024. The university said the case went to a hearing and resulted in sanctions including expulsions and suspensions. The criminal investigation was initially closed without charges, but the DA’s office said Monday it would reopen the case following the woman’s civil lawsuit against Cornell and seven former fraternity members. The case will now go before a grand jury.

Barbara Ann Miller :

these men lie. no woman would consent to a train run on her and people she never meet just randomly stopping by like she is a toy. 💔

ALLtheRAGE_VT :

Where in Title IX does it say you don’t have to disclose a crime?

K :

from a lawyer point of view is this a winnable case with all the defamation that is happening

User82828288282888 :

Why did he give so so many interviews

Mel perkins :

Couldn't be bothered to investigate always.The men that don't want to investigate

Erineliza :

I like how he shakes his head no to show us he’s full of the baloney

Rae :

Shaking his head no the entire time… body language says he is lying

Kendra 🇨🇦 :

This guy is not right. Dangerous.

solara :

I don’t know if that’s true. I worked Title IX and we routinely handed over our cases/files to HPD. And Title IX is a federal standard so it should not vary state to state

Quantum :

Surely title 9 has a mandatory reporting component?

Bailey :

He looks exhausted.

I learned at an early she that all monsters are human..(Scooby Doo)

PaPa G :

She reported it to campus police who turned it into title 9. It absolutely should have been investigated and referred to da.

Micely :

What I’m getting that should a person be sa’d, he or she should report to police first. Skip the middleman

mariagabrielast47 :

Fit and Frugal Gal :

sivie :

Imad Hanif :

No one is a winner in this case, because the damage was enormous...

He needs his law license revoked. Nothing he is saying is true. That’s not what title 9 says

bb :

Then she just went to the police to chat on her weekend???

Neill Hutchings :

okay part of this, is this DA is so bad at explaining this process

SueFinds :

This is why it's now being handled by the NY state attorney. Van Houten closed the case because he said, "I didn't know." smh

Warmac :

That is not correct under title nine they are allowed to expose criminal activity in some cases required to do so
