What can we learn from the allegations of sexual assault at a Cornell fraternity?
The legal case could take a long time, but the ripples of the allegations are already forcing new conversations about consent and assault across the country.
We discuss how the varying claims could affect the legal investigation. We also talk about why inviting dozens of strangers to join a sexual conquest of a woman has its own ethical problems, regardless of how the legal side plays out.
Our guests:
- Meredith Ouderkirk, director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York
- Sharon Stiller, Esq., of counsel for Abrams Fensterman LLP
