Denver, CO, September 30, 2026 —

Tompkins County District Attorney’s office is reportedly investigating the presence and contents of a police interview transcript related to a sexual assault case at Cornell University that occurred in 2024. The investigation was prompted by new information brought to the prosecutor’s attention.

According to reports, the district attorney’s office became aware of the transcript’s existence through a reporter. This reporter allegedly conveyed that the accuser had stated with “100% confidence” that she was raped. This specific detail was reportedly not included in the accuser’s initial statement provided to the district attorney’s office when the case was first reviewed.

Following the initial review, charges in the case were declined. However, the situation has evolved. The case has since been reopened by the district attorney’s office. This reopening of the investigation comes after the accuser filed a civil lawsuit related to the 2024 sexual assault incident. The specific details surrounding the police interview, the recording or transcription of the accuser’s statement, and the timeline of these events are currently under scrutiny as part of the district attorney’s inquiry.

The district attorney’s office has not yet released a detailed statement regarding the scope or expected duration of this investigation into the transcript. The Tompkins County DA’s office is examining the circumstances under which the interview was conducted and recorded, and how the information contained within it pertains to the original decision to decline charges. The current proceedings aim to understand the full context and any potential implications of the transcript’s content on the case.
