DA in Cornell rape case says he never saw transcript of university police interview

New details continue to emerge on the Cornell rape case, as Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten told CBS News he never saw the transcript of Jane Doe's interview with university police after she reported her assault.

Lilia Luciano has the latest and Caroline Polisi provides analysis.

The verified evidence supplied for this item contains no factual information that is absent from the published text. It does not provide further details about the university police interview, its transcript, the reported assault, the investigation, or any related proceedings. Consequently, there is no independently supported development, clarification, or context available to add to the report without either restating the existing account or introducing information not established by the source. The material confirms only that CBS News presented a report by Lilia Luciano and analysis by Caroline Polisi, alongside the district attorney’s statement already described in the item.

It supplies no account of what Luciano reported beyond that statement and no substance of Polisi’s analysis. It also does not identify additional participants, documents, dates, decisions, or outcomes. Publishing any such detail as an addition would exceed the verified evidence provided.
