New York's Assembly has formed a working group to review the state's sexual-assault laws after a lawsuit accusing seven Cornell fraternity members of gang-raping a woman in 2024. Governor Kathy Hochul pledged to close the "voluntary intoxication" loophole, which can hinder prosecution when victims willingly consumed alcohol or drugs. The case has reignited nationwide debate over campus sexual assault.
