Man with Same Name as Cornell Suspect Is Targeted by Strangers

A man is being targeted by strangers because he shares a name with a suspect in a rape case at Cornell.

The man is not identified in the information available here.

Vigilantes are trying to expose people they believe are connected to the case.

That effort has led to innocent people being doxed, threatened and falsely accused.

Doxing means revealing someone’s personal information, often to encourage others to contact or target them.

The case shows how people can face harm when strangers act on a shared name.

No further developments are described.
