Cornell University ignored another report of sexual assault on campus that could involve up to 10 student victims — and “did nothing to investigate,” according to an unearthed lawsuit.
Students alleged that fellow student, Esat Braveboy, was allowed to commit “drug-facilitated sexual assault, rape and to sodomize students” because Cornell ignored reports of his “egregious sexual misconduct against college students,” according to the Tompkins County filing.
The suit alleged that despite the students filing Title IX complaints, Cornell “continued to allow Braveboy to commit sexual abuse against Plaintiffs and others.”
“At least five-ten others have been sexually abused by Braveboy on campus and it is believed that many more were abused but have yet to come forward,” claims the suit, first reported by New York Focus.
The 2023 suit brought by two Cornell undergrad students claims the institution has long had issues curbing sexual violence on its campus, well before the school was rocked by a shocking anonymous gang rape lawsuit filed in September.
