• 1:50
  Speaker 1: each of her hands. to signify that she was under
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: 21 years old. Despite having underage marks on her hands,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Plaintiff was served and consumed at least one alcoholic beverage
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: at Mooney's. Within Mooney's, Tri-Delta's National Alpha Beta Chapter had
• 2:06

• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of attendees and monitoring their fellow sorority sisters for signs

• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Plaintiff was given an under-21 wristband. Around 11 p.m., Plaintiff
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: decided to leave Lot 10 and stumbled alone to Chi
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Phi National Chapter Fraternity House on Cornell's campus. When Plaintiff arrived...
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and was led into the chapter fraternity house by three
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: or four members of the fraternity who had been standing
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: by the front door. Therein, plaintiff saw defendant Ingalls, who
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: greeted plaintiff and gave her a beer. Plaintiff and defendant
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Ingalls then danced together in the main room of the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: fraternity house. After dancing, defendant Ingalls pulled plaintiff off to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a quieter area and propositioned her with having a threesome
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: with her and another one of his fraternity brothers. In
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: her drunken state, plaintiff was incapable of consenting to the proposition,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Despite being incapable of consent, defendant Ingalls then led plaintiff
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to the upstairs of the fraternity house and left her
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: with Alex Vega, another chapter member. After speaking with Alex
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for some time, defendant Ingalls returned and led plaintiff to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: another room down the hall where defendant Newell was sitting
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: on a couch. While on the couch, defendant Ingalls and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Newell began passing around a plastic bag containing a white
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: powdery substance claimed to be ketamine. a disassociative anesthetic with
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: hallucinogenic properties. Defendant Ingalls and Newell then pressured plaintiff into
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: snorting the alleged ketamine with them, a drug she had
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: never done before. During this time, Defendant Ingalls and Newell
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: also applied plaintiff with marijuana and Jamaican liquor, believed to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: be some type of high-proof rum. Soon after, Defendant Ingalls
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and Newell began engaging in sexual acts with plaintiff, all
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: without her consent. During the assault, Defendant Ingalls forced oral
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: sex on plaintiff while defendant Newell forced vaginal intercourse on
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: her from behind. Throughout the assault, defendant Newell slapped plaintiff
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on the buttocks multiple times, resulting in bruising. At one point,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: defendant Ingalls could no longer maintain an erection, so he
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: stopped participating and told the other two that he's going
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to take a nap and proceed to get up, move
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to the bed and sleep. Defendant Newell then began reaching
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: for her vagina with his hand multiple times, and each
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: time plaintiff pushed his hand away. Soon after, Defendant Lopez
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: entered the room, grabbed Plaintiff away from Defendant Newell, and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: began kissing her, while Defendant Newell groped her from behind,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: specifically reaching for her vagina. Defendant Lopez and Newell then
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: placed Plaintiff on a bed, and the two men began
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: having sex with Plaintiff, initiating another assault, all without Plaintiff's consent.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: At approximately 1.42am, Defendant Newell sent a message into the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: chapter's member Snapchat group, entitled KaiPaiActives, in which the active
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: fraternity members are present, claiming that there was free pussy upstairs,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: referring to plaintiff thereafter. In doing so, defendant Newell organized
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and encouraged other chapter members to join in on the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: gang rape of plaintiff in the chapter fraternity house. At
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: this point, multiple other members of the chapter entered the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: room and plaintiff retreated under the covers of the bed
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to hide her naked body from the frat men. Soon after,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: defendant Sarabia approached plaintiff, grabbed her face, and started kissing her,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: all without consent, and plaintiff pushed them away. At that point,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: plaintiff's phone was on the other side of the room,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and she felt as if there was no way for
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: her to escape this room full of predatory fraternity men.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Defendant Newell then poured a line of ketamine on his
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: erect penis and commanded that plaintiff snort it off, which
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: he did. Defendant Newell then got on the bed with
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: plaintiff and began groping her and reaching for her vagina again.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: While plaintiff was lying on her back on the bed,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: defendant Ingalls, Newell, Lee, Lopez, Sarabia, Norris, and Kretschmar then
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: began pouring lines of ketamine all over her body and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: snorting them. Eventually, defendant Newell, Lopez, Sarabia, Norris, and Kretschmar
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: decided to exit the room, and plaintiff was removed by
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: defendant Ingalls and Lee to another, smaller room, believed to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: be the fraternity president's office. Once inside, defendant Ingalls and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Lee made more lines of ketamine and instructed plaintiff to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: snort one, which he did. By this point, plaintiff was
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: completely incapacitated. Thereafter, defendant Ingalls and Lee initiated another assault
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of plaintiff, forcing oral and vaginal sex upon her simultaneously.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: At around 5.45 a.m., this assault concluded and plaintiff lost consciousness.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: When plaintiff awoke later that day, on October 20th, 2024,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: plaintiff returned to her residence within the Alpha Beta Chapter
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: sorority house. At this point, plaintiff was in a state
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of shock. At her residence, plaintiff noticed a large bruise
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and formed on her buttocks and took preemptive medication for
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a urinary tract infection. Later that day, plaintiff became aware
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of what happened to her at the house the previous
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: night and it was becoming public knowledge on Cornell's campus.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: With the encouragement of her friends, on or about November 8th, 2024,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: plaintiff reported the incident to Cornell's private police force, known
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: as Cornell University Police Department, located in Cornell. On or
