It's that she is awfully humble and has proceeded through this with a humility that is inspiring to me,' her lawyer, Whitney Seals, told The Cornell Daily Sun.It comes as texts obtained by CBS News showed that Doe messaged Ingalls and Newell days after the alleged assault on October 19 to 20, 2024.

During their conversation, Doe revealed: 'People always want to talk about soemthing [sic] like i had transgender allegations last year but i just gave it no attention and it disappeared.' 'Silence is the most powerful response always but i always want to say something is the prob,' she continued.One day later, on October 23, Doe brought up the transgender allegations again to Ingalls after saying the incident was 'RUINING my life temporarily,' her reputation had been ruined, and all she could do was 'sleep and cry all day.'She wrote: 'Also i had transgender allegations last year too so if anyone mentions it i mention the fact that i've been rumored about so many times and we know i'm not transgender so.'Ingalls responded to her message about the transgender allegations with crying emojis.Meanwhile, Doe was texting Newell that 'none of the sexual stuff was illegal' and claimed 'our body, our choice,' and she asked him to search his room for a pair of earrings she lost. Newell reached out to Doe on October 21, one day after the alleged assault, and their messages continued to the next day.On October 22, Doe texted Newell: 'Oh also i lost two earrings so if u find them that's my bad.''I'll look when I clean tmrw after class,' Newell replied.

I'll do a full room clean tmrw and look, sry I've been busy w setup.'According to the documents, Doe had been disinvited from the fraternity's Halloween party Newell was setting up for.She later texted Ingalls: 'I knew this was going to happen. The woman will always get the short end of the stick. Y'all aren't my friends. Y'all are covering your asses.'On November 3, Jane Doe texted Newell: 'Let's be clear that 90% of what happened that night was not consensual.'I was given more key than I can remember,' she wrote, referring to ketamine, 'and I know that I told u I felt uncomfortable and I didn't know anyone in the room.'By November 7, Jane Doe went to an emergency room in Ithaca and requested a rape kit, then reported the assault to police.The next day, the accused men learned their fraternity was suspended after Jane Doe's report. Although the prosecutors declined to file charges against the men, Cornell launched a Title IX investigation, and both Ingalls and Newell were expelled from the Ivy League.The incident has sparked national outrage after Doe filed her lawsuit, and authorities have since reopened the case and appointed a special prosecutor to investigate.The seven men, including Ingalls, Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris and Scott Kretzschmar, have all denied the allegations against them.
