New York governor says 'I want the truth' in Cornell case

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she intends to 'close the loophole' in her state's law that currently makes it difficult for sexual assault survivors to claim they were mentally incapacitated during an assault if they were voluntarily intoxicated.

Hochul and the state attorney general provided an update about the criminal investigation into a woman's allegations that she was gang raped at a Cornell University fraternity house.

The lawsuit against seven fraternity brothers, the university, the Chi Phi fraternity and others alleges that she was plied with drugs and alcohol, then subjected to sex acts by a group of men while she was partially or entirely incapacitated.
