A friend of our sent these images. She was horrified. We all are.
But are we surprised?
We’re not surprised, right? We’re not surprised that the incident in 2024 wasn’t isolated.
Because of course it wasn’t.
I believe that there are still so many of us who truly want to believe this most recently exposed university-sanctioned rape is a rarity.
I personally remember using – or rather, TRY to use heavy denial as a self-preservation technique. I think a lot of us wish that could work. Sometimes it does…until it doesn’t.
In regard to the above screencaps, it’s been reported by CBS and ABC News that these messages were sent to the Cornell Chi Phi fraternity Snapchat group to make sure people knew there was a body available to fuck.
Someone who was afraid they may have missed their chance asked, “Shop still open?”
These texts aren’t isolated to the one incident we’re hearing about involving Jane Doe. We someone bemoaning that the next target “better not be fatty again.”
Again being the key word in that statement.
This isn’t an isolated incident.
And this is premeditation.
We know what the statistics nationwide (United States specifically) say and have said for a while.
Between 20% and 25% of college-aged women are sexually assaulted or experience sexual misconduct during their time in on campus, according to major national studies and data from organizations like the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN).
Other data:
- The “Red Zone”: The first year of college carries the highest risk. According to RAINN’s campus statistics, 16% of undergraduate women report nonconsensual sexual contact during their freshman year.
- Risk Factors: A study by Washington State University researchers noted that the risk is significantly higher for women living on campus compared to commuter students.
- Underreporting: The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) highlights that fewer than one-third of female victims report sexual assaults to law enforcement or school officials.
We don’t have to ask why…
Cornell University’s own survey reportedly found that, in 2025, 35% of undergraduate women said they had experienced nonconsensual sexual contact involving physical force, threats of force or incapacitation, according to a poll conducted last year, a figure that was up from 23% in 2023.
So again – this isn’t an anomaly.
This is yet another incident that’s been swept under the rug by the people who are supposed to help the victims.
The victim of these rapists reported the incident.
The rapists were told to write essays.
They deemed this unimportant, not worthy of involving law enforcement.
This has to stop. They’re not stopping it. We have to.
