康奈尔大学一起涉及七名男子的性侵指控案引发司法程序争议。1被告方律师要求特殊检察官莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯回避此案，声称她在社交媒体上发表的支持受害者言论可能危害调查的独立性和公正性。1詹姆斯曾在9月28日的社交媒体帖文中表示："这位年轻女性被迫经历的是可怕和不可接受的，我们与你们同在"。1被告律师主张这些评论与"独立评估证据"的基本要求相冲突。1
纽约州长卡西·霍赫尔上周任命詹姆斯为特殊检察官负责调查此案。1霍赫尔与詹姆斯已为后者的公正性进行了辩护，表示她将遵循事实证据展开调查。1被控性侵的事件发生在2024年10月的一场联谊会派对上。1此外，康奈尔大学还将面临教职员会的不信任投票。1
Defense attorneys representing seven men accused of sexual assault at Cornell University are seeking the removal of special prosecutor Letitia James, arguing that her public statements about the case compromise investigative impartiality 1. James, who was appointed by New York Governor Kathy Hochul last week to lead the investigation, posted on social media on September 28 stating that "what this young woman was forced to endure is horrifying and unacceptable" and "we stand with you" 1. The defense contends that these remarks conflict with the requirement to conduct an independent assessment of evidence 1.
The allegations center on an incident at a fraternity party in October 2024 where the seven defendants are accused of involvement in a sexual assault 1. Governor Hochul and James have both defended her objectivity, with both officials asserting that James will follow the facts and evidence in her investigation 1. The situation has intensified pressure on Cornell University's leadership, which now faces a faculty vote of no confidence 1.
