Prayers up! The Cornell University fraternity sexual assault case is being reopened after a civil lawsuit brought new scrutiny to the shocking details. Seven members of Chi Phi fraternity were accused of repeatedly assaulting a 20-year-old woman after she was pressured into taking ketamine, weed, and alcohol — and the school’s response was to make them write essays. Only two students were expelled.
Sunny Hostin (former federal prosecutor, now on The View) sparked outrage with her legal analysis, arguing that under New York law, voluntary intoxication doesn’t automatically mean you can’t consent — a take many felt blamed the victim. We break down the legal reasoning, why the original prosecutor declined to press charges, and why the case is now heading to a grand jury.
Mornings With Mero also discussed teaching young men about enthusiastic consent, fraternity culture, and why public pressure is forcing Cornell to reinvestigate.
Drop your thoughts in the comments — do you think Sunny was right to break down the law as written, or should she have framed it differently?
