The complaint alleged she had been plied with drugs, incapacitated from the start, hit, and gang-raped for hours. The DA said the new allegations were dramatically different from the statement he had. He reopened the file anyway, because the internet had already convicted the Cornell 7 and the governor was watching. CBS and ABC published the texts.
