What Cornell case reveals about handling of rape allegations

Season 2026 Episode 206 | 6m 45s

Anger and backlash are building at Cornell University this week over the way the school handled an alleged gang rape in 2024. The case has renewed questions about how sexual assault allegations are investigated on college campuses and by law enforcement. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Deborah Tuerkheimer, a former prosecutor and author of "Credible: Why We Doubt Accusers and Protect Abusers."
