## Key points

- Sarabia seeks dismissal from a civil case involving seven former Cornell students.
- His lawyers dispute the allegations and argue some claims were filed too late.
- He is also asking a judge to limit public comments by Doe’s lawyer.

## Summary

Diego Sarabia, one of seven former Cornell students named in a civil lawsuit over an alleged sexual assault at a fraternity house, is asking a New York court to dismiss the claims against him. He denies the allegations, and his lawyers argue that the complaint does not describe his involvement in the more serious alleged assaults.

The former student, identified in court as Jane Doe, says Sarabia grabbed her face, kissed her and took part in snorting ketamine off her body at the Chi Phi house during an incident in October 2024. His lawyers describe the claim against him as involving a forced kiss and argue that some claims were filed too late under a one-year limitation period. Sarabia had graduated and was barred from Cornell’s campus for three years; he is also seeking limits on public comments by Doe’s lawyer.
