Cornell Seven Accuser Writes Senate
Cornell Jane Doe accuser Lucy Craig has brought her dispute with university leadership directly to the Faculty Senate.

Cornell Seven Evidence Before Election Theater Psy-Op
A website carrying court-style branding published information purporting to identify Jane Doe accuser Lucy Craig in the Cornell Seven litigation, attributed that identification to the court, and later became inaccessible.

BREAKING: Cornell Seven Accuser Unmasked
Kathy Hochul brought Albany’s authority into the Cornell Seven investigation, appointing Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor on October 1. Ryan Flynn deserves the same urgency.
