## Key points

- Two former students accuse Cornell of ignoring warnings about a student.
- Their lawsuit says at least five to ten others may have been abused.
- The case proceeds as Cornell reviews its handling of assault complaints.

## Summary

Two former Cornell students allege the university failed to act on repeated complaints about Esat Braveboy, who they say drugged and sexually assaulted women on campus between 2018 and 2021. Their lawsuit claims Cornell’s handling of reports left students at risk; a judge has allowed the case to proceed, and the university has appealed.

The women say at least five to ten other students may also have been abused. One alleges she was repeatedly assaulted from June 2018, while the other says Braveboy assaulted her in May 2021 and that Cornell’s investigation began only after another woman came forward. Braveboy denies the allegations. The case follows a separate 2024 assault lawsuit that led New York’s governor to appoint a special prosecutor, and Cornell has commissioned an independent review of its response to sexual misconduct complaints.
