A lawyer for a woman who alleges that she was gang raped at Cornell University in 2024 said he believes there were more than seven men involved in the assault.

“I’m not even sure we have everybody who participated in this assault because my client was blacked out during periods of time, and that’s reported in these statements. We don’t even know the people we have are the people we definitively know,” he told CNN's Jake Tapper.

The attorney continued, saying, "if you ask me, I believe there were more."
