The Cornell 7 - Attorney Dube breaks it down from a legal perspective.

The Cornell 7: What does the law actually say?

On Breaking the Case with Jen Coffindaffer FBI, Jen is joined by attorney Philip Dubé for a deep dive into the controversial civil lawsuit involving seven Cornell students accused of sexual assault.

They examine the difference between a civil lawsuit and a criminal prosecution, why the alleged victim is being referred to as “Jane Doe,” and why the identities of the seven defendants are public.

Philip also breaks down New York’s legal standards surrounding consent, intoxication, and physical helplessness, and explains why the original criminal investigation was not prosecuted.

With the case now reopened and a special prosecutor appointed, the legal questions surrounding the Cornell 7 are far from settled.

What does the evidence actually establish—and what could happen next?
