There were sexual-assault allegations involving Letitia James herself. The accuser was Angel DuBose, a former employee of James’s NYC Public Advocate’s Office.

On her own fundraising page, DuBose alleged she was “kidnapped and assaulted by James and several members of her staff”… https://t.co/ELgOA9CVsR
So here’s how this plays out:

A.) NYAG is going to charge this in such a way that risking trial means a 20+ prison sentence if the defendants are found guilty. She’s going to charge more than the original 7, and hope she gets an “insider” to testify against the holdouts in… https://t.co/JaZ8ekZEFT
Not the first time that this has happened but the first time that the woman has admitted it publicly.

Paglia's point is that women have been raised in a way that makes them naïve. They believe that the suburban, middle-class setting is the default condition of the world, and that the rights they have go with them anywhere, even to a foreign country or a bedroom during a drunken party. And this is the part I think about a lot... Written history is only about 2% of all human history. And this post-1945, "rules-based order" we're living in is only about 2% of written history. And written history comprises things like mountains of skulls, banners made from the skins of enemies, torture as part of the legal system, defiled corpses, and cities given to soldiers for three days of rape and plunder with no rules. The World Wars industrialized it. None of the progress of the 200 years of "enlightenment" prevented it, either. Keep in mind that Germany and Japan signed the Hague Conventions in 1899 and 1907. Paper rules burn easily. That's what makes the "oh, we've evolved past all of this" argument a load of nonsense. This postwar order, this illusory anomaly we've lived in for 80 years, was built by people who were scarred by two World Wars in 33 years. Orders are never permanent. Every previous order fell, and this one will too, except we'll have drones and AI to make even bigger mountains of skulls next time. And this is where Paglia's statements become more important because in a real breakdown, the people with weapons and the will to use them will control the food, fuel, and shelter first. You know who does that the most? Men. The tech level doesn't matter, either. It never has. From melee weapons, through missile weapons, to firearms, to drones, conflict has been the province of men. Testosterone and its resulting aggression reign supreme. They end up dominating everyone who doesn't have resources, and eventually you get stability. Do you know what's downstream from that? Patriarchy. That's the irony facing the women that Paglia's discussing here: what they despise the most is the only thing that will save them when this order is gone someday. If you don't believe me, then look at how many patriarchal societies still exist in the world today, or read about the sack of Berlin in 1945. Paglia is right: women should be treated as adults. And that includes women understanding what their rights are protected by.

Cornell University 2024 Rape Case When I first read the headlines about this case, like most people, I was appalled. Seven men raped a woman for seven hours, and no one was prosecuted? Then I read Jane Doe’s statement, included in attorney Andrew Fleischman’s analysis, and I understood why prosecutors declined to bring charges. Based on that statement, I don’t see how they could have proven rape beyond a reasonable doubt. I want to be clear, I think the actions of these men were reprehensible. Doe obviously liked Male 1 and agreed to a threesome. But to then degrade her and invite other men into the room without her prior consent is unconscionable. The Snapchat messages allegedly telling others they could have sex with her for “free” only make their behavior more repulsive. But reprehensible behavior and criminal rape are not necessarily the same thing. Doe alleges she was pressured into taking ketamine and smoking marijuana while already intoxicated and was then raped by seven men over approximately seven hours before blacking out. Her statement, however, describes a much more complicated sequence. She describes voluntarily participating in sexual activity with multiple men. She cared for Male 2 when he thought he might vomit. She opened the door and let Male 3 into the room herself. When four more men entered, she hid under the covers, which certainly suggests discomfort, but she doesn't describe telling them to leave. She participated in taking ketamine with the group and later allowed them to snort ketamine from her body. Most importantly from a legal standpoint, her statement describes her setting boundaries and those boundaries being respected. When Male 1 proposed a foursome involving anl sex, she said no. It didn't happen. Later, she went with Male 1 and Male 4 to another room, did more ketamine and participated in another threesome. Around 5:45 a.m., she said she was tired and wanted to stop. They stopped. She went to sleep. Fleischman's analysis was that those facts did not establish first, second, or third-degree rape. New York law addresses forcible compulsion, clearly expressed lack of consent, and circumstances in which someone is legally incapable of consenting because of mental incapacitation or physical helplessness. But prosecutors still have to connect those circumstances to the specific sexual conduct occurring at that time. Being heavily intoxicated during the night doesn't automatically establish that every sexual encounter during that night occurred without legally valid consent. And that's where I think the criminal case becomes extremely difficult. Could there have been coercion? Absolutely. Every time she pulled back, more drugs appear to have entered the picture. There are memory gaps. Her intoxication became severe. Those are significant facts. But her statement also describes someone who could communicate, make choices, participate, refuse particular acts and ultimately end the encounter. One statement obviously doesn't tell us everything that happened that night. Other evidence, toxicology, witness accounts or omitted portions of her statement could change the picture. Would Doe have participated in multiple threesomes sober? Maybe not. Looking back sober at something you did while severely intoxicated could be horrifying, especially if it was completely outside your normal behavior. But that's different from proving rape beyond a reasonable doubt. Based solely on the statement Fleischman analyzed, I understand why prosecutors concluded they didn't have a criminal rape case they could prove.

My new @Townhallcom column takes no prisoners… “We don’t owe accusers anything except to treat the accusation seriously, to investigate both sides’ claims, and to test the admissible evidence against clear laws. But that’s not what the leftists and feminists want to do here. That’s not what New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wanted done by appointing New York Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor. Hochul had already framed the young woman as a victim who was “literally gang raped,” and said she deserves to have “justice pursued.” Her catspaw James is supposed to run an objective criminal investigation? That’s a travesty. She has her marching orders, and she will march accordingly.” The Lessons and the Lies of the Gross Cornell Scandal https://t.co/9Sbey6M2LS
