Doxxing Jane Doe

What happened

Online vigilantes have tried to expose the Cornell University student who filed a lawsuit accusing seven fraternity members of gang rape, and in so doing have invited a torrent of abuse on several other women. Her lawyers say three women have been falsely identified and harassed - and the real Jane Doe is being inundated with threats, too.

ITHACA, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 30: A student walks past Cornell Police headquarters on the Cornell University campus on September 30, 2026, in Ithaca, New York. "She's not doing well," her attorney Thomas Guiffra told CNN on Sunday. "She's under siege on social media, where people are trying to identify her."
