Cornell 7 Case: Morals, Consent and Bystander Effect

The so-called Cornell 7 case has sparked international attention .. and each day it seems more evidence emerges publicly. Last month a woman, known publicly as Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit against Cornell University and seven Chi Phi fraternity members over an alleged sexual assault that took place in 2024. According to reports, one aspect of the case centres on a snapchat group involving more than 50 men where messages about the alleged assault were being shared on the night in question. Right around the world people are sharing their thoughts on the case ... with lots of broader conversations about consent and morals.
