纽约州汤普金斯县伊萨卡市康奈尔大学性侵投诉10月29日起移交州警调查：州长霍楚宣布协议、此前已任命特别检察官重查旧案
纽约州州长凯西·霍楚10月29日宣布，纽约州警方将接管康奈尔大学今后性侵投诉的刑事调查，这是该校处理一起性侵指控引发广泛批评后的最新进展。地点在汤普金斯县伊萨卡市的康奈尔大学校园。根据州长办公室的声明，州警方与康奈尔大学已签署协议，今后校园内提出的性侵投诉将移交州警方进行刑事调查，除非投诉人另有要求，此前这类投诉一般由校园警察管辖。这一决定源于一名化名简·多伊的女子提出的指控，她在一桩今年提起的民事诉讼中称，2024年10月在校内一个兄弟会会所遭到侵害；尽管校方对涉事学生作出了开除或处分，但未提起刑事指控，引发学生、校友和维权人士对校方处理方式的质疑。霍楚此前已任命州总检察长詹乐霞担任特别检察官，重新调查这起投诉；康奈尔大学董事会一个委员会也任命美国前副司法部长萨莉·耶茨，对校方应对性侵指控的做法进行审查。与此同时，康奈尔大学教务委员会正在就针对校方管理层的不信任动议进行投票，约135名成员可从10月30日起投票至11月6日，决议不具约束力。州长办公室表示，移交州警调查的目的是让投诉处理更加独立透明，校方尚未就协议细节进一步置评。
New York State Police to Take Over Criminal Investigations of Sexual Assault Complaints at Cornell Under Oct. 29 Agreement Announced by Governor Hochul
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on October 29 that the New York State Police will take over criminal investigations of sexual assault complaints at Cornell University in Ithaca, Tompkins County, under an agreement signed with the university. Going forward, sexual assault complaints made on campus will be referred to the state police for criminal investigation unless the complainant asks otherwise; such complaints were previously generally handled by campus police.
The decision follows an allegation by a woman identified as Jane Doe, who said in a civil lawsuit filed this year that she was assaulted at a fraternity house on campus in October 2024. Although the university expelled or disciplined the accused student, no criminal charges were filed, drawing student criticism. The governor's office had previously appointed a special prosecutor to re-examine older cases.
