Lawyer says Cornell expelled student after finding he had sex without consent

The woman says she was drugged and sexually assaulted at a fraternity party in 2024.

Her lawyer says Cornell expelled Jonathan Newell after a university hearing found he had begun intercourse without her consent.

Newell and the other men named in the lawsuit deny the allegations, and prosecutors did not bring criminal charges.

The case matters because it involves separate university and legal processes for responding to sexual assault allegations.
