Lhuan-dre Pretorius breaks Chris Gayle's record for the highest score in a men's T20 match with an unbeaten 188 in a domestic fixture in South Africa.

A sexually charged case that roiled Cornell University two years ago has exploded onto the national stage, fueling a fierce debate over sex, consent and criminality in college hookup culture.

Seven former Chi Phi fraternity brothers are accused in a lawsuit of drugging and raping a female Cornell student during a night of drinking, drugs and group sex at their fraternity house in October 2024.

The accuser, identified in court papers by the pseudonym Jane Doe, alleges the men sexually assaulted her after she arrived intoxicated and was pressured into taking ketamine and other substances. The men have denied wrongdoing, with some maintaining the sexual activity was consensual and others denying they participated in it. No criminal charges have been filed against the seven men.

CONVICTED RAPIST WHO PREYED ON WOMEN AT AMERICA'S TOP PARTY SCHOOL FACES RECKONING AFTER COURTHOUSE DASH

The case has now erupted into a political and legal firestorm, with New York Attorney General Letitia James announcing Friday that her office is conducting an "active criminal investigation" after Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed the Office of the Attorney General as special prosecutor. Cornell has separately agreed to retain outside counsel to conduct an independent review of the university's handling of the allegations.

At the center of the controversy are sharply conflicting accounts of what happened that night, including differences between what Doe said in the weeks afterward, what prosecutors say they received from Cornell police and the explosive allegations contained in a lawsuit filed nearly two years later.

Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten, who initially declined to pursue charges, has said Doe's November 2024 sworn statement did not allege that she was drugged against her will or gang raped and instead described her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as "voluntary, conscious, and consensual."

Doe was 20 years old and a Cornell undergraduate when the events at the center of the case unfolded on the night of Oct. 19, 2024.

According to her lawsuit, Doe began the evening drinking vodka at her Tri Delta sorority house before attending a sorority social event at a downtown Ithaca bar. She later went to a second bar before leaving alone around 11 p.m. and walking to the Chi Phi fraternity house to meet a friend who was a member.

By the time she arrived at Chi Phi, Doe was visibly intoxicated and had consumed roughly 10 standard drinks over three hours, according to her own complaint.

Once inside, Doe alleges, a fraternity member gave her another beer before proposing a threesome with another fraternity brother. The lawsuit maintains that Doe was already too intoxicated to consent.

Doe alleges she was then taken upstairs, where two fraternity members pressured her into snorting what they said was ketamine, a drug she says she had never previously taken. She alleges they also gave her marijuana and high-proof liquor before engaging in sexual acts with her without her consent.

The lawsuit alleges other fraternity members entered the room as the night progressed. At 1:42 a.m., according to a screenshot reproduced in the complaint, one member posted "free p----" in a Snapchat group for active Chi Phi members. The complaint alleges the message encouraged other members to go upstairs.

CBS News reported Friday that it had obtained additional Snapchat messages from the fraternity group, including a photograph of Doe with another man that was shared with dozens of Chi Phi members that night. Just before the photo was posted, one participant wrote, "Like you can walk in and whip it out," while another subsequently asked, "Shop still open?" and received the reply, "Yeah."

Attorneys for several of the accused men have denied criminal wrongdoing by their clients. An attorney for one of the men told NBC News the lawsuit was "intentionally dishonest" and maintained his client had engaged in immature and inappropriate Snapchat messages but committed no crime. An attorney for another said the public narrative was "incomplete" and inconsistent with evidence developed during Cornell's investigation, including Doe's own statements.

Doe alleges she became increasingly impaired and eventually "completely incapacitated" as the encounters continued. The complaint says the final alleged assault ended around 5:45 a.m., when Doe lost consciousness.

Contemporaneous texts, interviews and university records show Doe described different portions of the encounter differently in the days and weeks that followed, while also expressing distress about what had happened.

When she returned to her sorority house around 11:15 a.m. on Oct. 20, Doe told her roommates she had taken ketamine and had sex with multiple men, according to records from Cornell's Title IX proceedings obtained by The New York Times. One roommate said Doe did not initially describe what happened as rape or sexual assault, while another recalled that she appeared to be "in shock" and did not seem to understand the gravity of what she was recounting.

The following day, one of the men Doe would later accuse apologized to her for how the night unfolded, saying he felt terrible that he and another fraternity member had been too intoxicated to stop things before they got "way out of hand," according to text messages reviewed by the Times.

Doe responded that "none of the sexual stuff was illegal" and said she had enjoyed being with the two men.

Other contemporaneous evidence suggests Doe was already struggling with the encounter. On Oct. 22, she visited Cornell Health seeking treatment for a urinary tract infection and testing for sexually transmitted diseases, telling a doctor she had contracted the infection "in a traumatic way," according to university records.

Doe also became increasingly distressed as word of the encounter spread around campus. A roommate told Cornell investigators that Doe initially described it as a "crazy thing that she had done," but that her understanding shifted over the following days. The roommate said she discussed portions of the encounter with Doe and told her that some of what she described could constitute rape.

About a week after the encounter, Doe discovered an anonymous online post claiming Chi Phi members had been "gang banging" and that a sophomore had been gang raped. Doe later told Cornell investigators that seeing the post marked a turning point in how she viewed the night.

"That's the first time I had ever heard the narrative change that I wasn't a whore and that I was assaulted," she said, according to the university records obtained by the Times.

Doe nevertheless remained in contact with fraternity members and planned to attend Chi Phi's Halloween party, according to the records. After initially being told she was welcome, the fraternity's president uninvited her, prompting Doe to accuse the men of "covering your asses."

By Nov. 3, however, Doe was explicitly describing most of the encounter as nonconsensual. In a text reviewed by the Times, she wrote that "90% of what happened that night was not consensual," adding that she had been given more ketamine than she could remember and had felt uncomfortable around people she did not know. Four days later, she went to an Ithaca emergency room and requested a rape kit.

Doe was interviewed by Cornell University Police on Nov. 14 and Nov. 15. A transcript obtained by CBS New York shows that she distinguished the initial sexual encounter, which she said she had been "pretty OK with," from what she said happened later in the night.

"I can say with 100% confidence I was raped," Doe told investigators, according to the transcript. She also described later sexual activity as coercive and said she had been "completely and totally incapacitated."

During those interviews, the campus police investigator prepared a six-page written statement that Doe reviewed and signed. That document — rather than the complete interview transcript — was what Van Houten says his office received before deciding not to pursue charges.

According to Van Houten's account of the signed statement, Doe said she agreed to the initial threesome out of attraction and "drunken curiousness," was "pretty ok" with it and voluntarily took ketamine later in the night.

The district attorney said multiple prosecutors and investigators reviewed the statement, assumed Doe's account was true and concluded that the facts contained in it did not establish a crime under New York law. Van Houten said her credibility was "never in question."

When CBS presented the full transcript to Van Houten this week, he said it had never been provided to him. 

"That wasn't information that I had," he said, later adding that its existence "changes the landscape for me."

For nearly two years after the alleged encounter, no criminal charges were filed against any of the men.

The case burst into the national spotlight Sept. 16, when Doe filed a sweeping 101-page lawsuit in New York Supreme Court laying out in graphic detail her allegations about what happened inside the Chi Phi house.

The lawsuit accuses the seven former fraternity members of sexual assault and rape and seeks compensatory and punitive damages. But it casts a far wider net than the seven men.

Doe also sued Cornell University, Chi Phi and affiliated entities, her own Tri Delta sorority and Moonies Bar & Nightclub, among others, alleging that institutions around her failed to protect her before, during and after the events of that night.

The complaint alleges Doe had already become intoxicated while drinking at the Tri Delta house before a sorority housemother accompanied her to Moonies. There, according to the lawsuit, a bouncer marked both of the then-20-year-old's hands with an "X" signifying she was under 21, but she was nevertheless served alcohol.

The graphic allegations prompted immediate questions about why no one had been prosecuted in 2024. Van Houten said he first learned of the lawsuit on Sept. 18, two days after it was filed, and that his office was subsequently inundated with calls and emails, including threats, demanding answers.

Van Houten publicly defended his original decision. He also reopened the investigation, met with Doe and her attorneys and announced plans to put the matter before a Tompkins County grand jury so it could consider her testimony and any new evidence raised by the lawsuit.

The controversy intensified after CBS reported that Van Houten had never received the full transcript of Doe's November 2024 interview with Cornell University Police. Van Houten said that if relevant information had been omitted from the signed statement provided to prosecutors, the circumstances should be investigated by someone outside Cornell.

Cornell has separately agreed to retain outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation into the university's handling of the allegations, according to Hochul. That review is distinct from the criminal investigation now being led by James' office.

Cornell, meanwhile, reached its own conclusions through the university's disciplinary process. University President Michael Kotlikoff said two of the accused students were expelled, two were suspended for at least two semesters, one had graduated before discipline could be imposed and two were found not responsible for sexual misconduct.

Those university findings were reached through Cornell's disciplinary process, which is separate from the criminal justice system and applies different standards and procedures.

Cornell has rejected allegations that it imposed only minor consequences, saying its Title IX process resulted in expulsions and suspensions. The university said no student was offered the opportunity to write essays as the sole consequence for their involvement and called suggestions that it failed to impose consequential punishment "false."

Cornell said in a statement to Fox News it "fully support[s] the appointment of a special prosecutor" and is committed to "an independent external review of all aspects of how Cornell has handled this case."

The case has also drawn renewed attention to Cornell's campus climate after more than 35% of female undergraduates responding to a 2025 university survey reported experiencing nonconsensual sexual contact involving force, threats or incapacitation, up from 23% in 2023. Although Cornell said 926 of 6,000 students invited to take the survey responded, a participation rate of about 15%.

Gov. Kathy Hochul intervened Thursday, signing an executive order appointing the Office of the Attorney General as special prosecutor in the case.

James said her office would lead an investigation guided by "the facts and the law."

Senior Trump advisor Jared Kushner accused CNN of publishing a "deeply misleading story and headline" suggesting his "diplomatic work in the Middle East somehow benefited investments in Israeli defense companies" in a fiery social media post on Friday.

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, who rarely criticizes the media publicly, took to X to scold a paywall-protected CNN report headlined, "How Jared Kushner’s firm’s investment in an Israeli company could be a major conflict of interest," that was published on Thursday.

The report noted that Kushner acted as a key negotiator regarding the war in Gaza while his company, Affinity Partners, "held the largest stake in an Israeli firm backing businesses involved in Israel’s military campaigns."

KUSHNER GIVES HAMAS STARK ULTIMATUM: DISARM OR ISRAEL GETS US BACKING TO ‘FINISH THE JOB’

Kushner argued that CNN’s own reporting contradicts the headline, but said readers without a paid subscription to the website were left in the dark.

"Buried behind a paywall, it acknowledges: ‘CNN found no indication that Kushner’s actions as a diplomat directly affected the investments reviewed,’" Kushner wrote.

Indeed, CNN said it found no indication that Kushner’s actions as a diplomat directly impacted the investments, but that point was buried 10 paragraphs deep and only visible to paid CNN subscribers.

The lengthy report said, "CNN used Israeli financial transparency laws to trace some of the military-linked investments of Phoenix Financial, a Tel Aviv-based firm that Kushner’s investment group doubled its stake in last year, shortly before Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office."

HILLARY CLINTON BREAKS WITH DEMOCRATIC CRITICS BY BACKING TRUMP’S GAZA PLAN AS THE 'ONLY GAME IN TOWN'

"Those records, which include only a fraction of Phoenix’s holdings, show Phoenix has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into Israel’s largest arms manufacturer, Elbit Systems. Phoenix also holds stakes in at least eight other companies providing equipment for the Israeli military ranging from drones to warships to demolition machinery, CNN found," according to the report.

"All nine companies identified by CNN saw their stock value climb last year, with many stating the war in Gaza had driven demand for their businesses," the CNN report continued. "Affinity doesn’t directly hold a stake in the nine companies CNN identified — but it does stand to reap rewards when Phoenix makes a profit."

CNN also noted that Kushner described Phoenix as a strong investment for Affinity.

In his response, Kushner said that Phoenix is not a defense company, despite CNN’s framing, and defended his company’s investments.

"It is one of Israel’s largest publicly traded financial institutions, highly regulated and managing approximately $220 billion across thousands of investments," Kushner wrote.

"Think of Phoenix as the Israeli equivalent of Vanguard or Fidelity. It manages the retirement savings of millions of Israelis. The savers don’t choose the individual investments, and neither do I," Kushner continued. "I have no role in deciding what Phoenix buys or sells. It has performed very well for Affinity and our investors, up more than five times since our initial investment."

Kushner added that Affinity is an SEC-registered investment firm.

"Our investment in Phoenix is public and dates to before President Trump was re-elected, and before I returned to public service. Affinity does not own the defense companies highlighted in CNN’s story," Kushner wrote.

"Those facts make for a less provocative headline, but a much more accurate story," he continued. "Misleading stories will not distract me from the work President Trump asked me to do: help end wars, bring people together and pursue peace. That work is too important."

A CNN spokesperson told Fox News Digital that "we stand by our reporting."

KUSHNER TOUTS UNPRECEDENTED IRAN CONTACTS AS TEHRAN DENIES TRUMP BACKCHANNEL

In a separate post, Kushner said he has ignored "false and misleading stories" for the past decade, but "the cycle has gotten out of control where old lies get repeated as fact, new ones get added, and the record becomes increasingly distorted," so he felt a need to respond.

CNN published a statement from Kushner's attorney, which was also hidden behind the paywall.

"Any suggestion that Jared’s diplomatic work influenced Phoenix’s investments in the companies you identify, or vice versa, is incorrect," the attorney told CNN.

A White House spokesperson also told CNN the suggestion Kushner’s personal business activities have anything to do with his diplomatic engagements is a "tired narrative that Democrats have pushed against President Trump, his family, and his administration for a decade."

November will see the launch of what is easily the biggest video game release of all time, and maybe the biggest entertainment release full stop, when "Grand Theft Auto VI" hits shelves.

Or hits the PlayStations of those of us who pre-ordered it (*raises hand*).

The game takes place largely in "Vice City," a fictionalized version of Miami, and it looks like the Miami Heat are getting in on the promotion.

The team announced on Friday that they will debut their new "Vice City" jerseys on November 18 against the Milwaukee Bucks (which is a notable matchup for another reason), the night before GTA VI's big November 19 release.

According to the team's website, the Heat's new duds will be "new, completely reimagined" getups for the occasion.

The video also shows the roof of the Kaseya Center, which has a big "Welcome to Vice City" sign with the game's Roman numeral "VI" logo next to it.

That night, the team will use a special "Vice City" court, and, as is the case for any good promotional endeavor, there's plenty of merch to be had.

As far as I can remember, there has never been a sports/video game tie-in like this, at least for a non-sports game.

NBA PLAYER PREDICTS AMERICAN ATHLETES' PERFORMANCES WILL DIP IN NOVEMBER WHILE THEY PLAY GTA

This isn't going to just be a video game release. It's going to transcend a whole bunch of different pop-cultural avenues, and here's one of them.

Good luck escaping the "Grand Theft Auto VI" barrage that we're going to face for the next couple of months.

Personally, I'm all about it. Like a lot of folks, I've been waiting for this thing to come out for well over a decade. It's going to be wild to finally dig into it.

Now, if they could just get to work on a sequel to "LA Noire," that would be greatly appreciated.

Billy Joel may be right, or he may be crazy as his prized motorcycle collection hits the auction block in the Big Apple.

More than 70 lots from the Piano Man's personal collection will be offered without reserve during Gooding Christie's inaugural auction at Retromobile New York next month.

Joel, 77, "is a genuine enthusiast who loves all sorts of motorcycles," Gooding Christie's founder, David Gooding, exclusively told Fox News Digital of the array of two-wheelers going up for sale, which includes "older bikes, bikes with side cars ... a mixture of everything."

BILLY JOEL SAYS LOUD ROCK CONCERTS DAMAGED HIS NERVES, LED TO HIS BRAIN SURGERY AND NPH DIAGNOSIS

"The exciting thing is all the motorcycles are being sold without reserve," Gooding said, meaning the auction will be sold to the highest bidder regardless of the final price.

BILLY JOEL SAYS AGING MUSICIANS WHO KEEP MAKING RECORDS PAST THEIR PRIME 'DILUTE THEIR LEGACY'

"And, a portion of the proceeds are going to benefit the Joel Foundation, which is a wonderful charity. It's a great charity that supports non-profit music education, public women's health ... there's some great initiatives that it supports."

The collection includes a number of his most cherished motorcycles, including Ducati, BMW, Moto Guzzi, Harley-Davidson, Yamaha, Triumph, Honda, Kawasaki, and more.

"One of the stars of the sale is a 1978 Triumph T140 Bonneville that was gifted to Billy Joel by Madison Square Garden to commemorate 150 sold out shows," Gooding said of the bike, which is expected to retrieve anywhere from $10,000 - $15,000.

"He still holds the record for the most sold out show of anyone ever at Madison Square Garden. And this bike is painted with a keyboard on the tank. It's really, really a special, special item."

The custom-painted motorcycle was commissioned especially for Joel, and is accompanied by a matching helmet listing every single show and year he played at Madison Square Garden, according to Gooding.

The collection also includes an iconic 1982 Ducati 900 Mike Hailwood Replica, which is estimated between $15,000-$25,000, marketed by Ducati to commemorate the motorcycle that Mike Hailwood rode to his legendary comeback victory at the 1978 Isle of Man.

A restored 1975 Ducati 750 Sport is estimated at $25,000 - $35,000 without reserve, and is "one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever conceived," according to the auction house.

Motorcycles from the auction – which is slated for Nov. 20-21 – will be on display at the Javits Center in New York.

"The great thing about this collection is it's certainly going to appeal to Billy Joel's fan base, but I also believe there are many people that are going to just be very passionate about motorcycles themselves," Gooding said.

"So we've got this sort of dual pool of interested buyers because the bikes in and of themselves are really important and valuable and exciting, and then you've got the Billy Joel component."

"I’ve always been drawn to bikes built by people who cared about getting every detail right," Joel said in a statement shared through Gooding Christie's. "I’ve loved building this collection. Now it’s someone else’s turn to hit the road."

The "Uptown Girl" singer underwent brain surgery after revealing his normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) diagnosis in May 2025. NPH affects his vision, hearing and balance, according to a statement Joel released on social media at the time.

During a recent appearance on his self-titled SiriusXM show, "The Billy Joel Channel," the legendary singer said doctors told him that his rock 'n' roll lifestyle caused damage to his brain nerves.

At the time of the announcement, Joel was forced to cancel a number of shows and said his condition had been "exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance."

NPH is a condition that happens when cerebrospinal fluid builds up inside the skull and presses on the brain. This condition is most likely to occur in people over age 65. Treating this condition involves surgery to implant a shunt to drain excess fluid from the inside of the skull, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

CBS Sports officially announced Friday that Tony Romo will not return to the network. In July, CBS placed Romo on indefinite leave after he was arrested on charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

"CBS Sports and Tony Romo have mutually agreed to part ways," the network said in a statement. "We thank Tony for his contributions over the past nine years and wish him the best moving forward."

As OutKick reported at the time, industry sources did not expect Romo to return. In short, the DWI accelerated a decision CBS had already made: it wanted out of the Tony Romo business.

CBS will broadcast its next Super Bowl in 2028, the first under David Ellison-backed Skydance ownership. The company had no interest in entering another Super Bowl cycle with Romo as Jim Nantz's lead analyst. Over the past several seasons, Romo's performance became a frequent target of criticism from fans and media alike.

The low point came during Super Bowl LVIII, when Romo botched the call of Patrick Mahomes' game-winning touchdown pass in overtime, a moment many viewed as symbolic of his decline in the booth.

The question now is who replaces Romo long term. With the NFL reportedly acquiring an equity stake in CBS, the network should remain one of the league's most valuable broadcast partners well into the next decade.

For now, CBS says future Hall of Famer J.J. Watt will remain Jim Nantz's color analyst. The network elevated Watt from its No. 2 team to the lead broadcast following Romo's suspension. Reviews of Watt have been mixed, though we generally agree with those who have praised his performance.

BREAKING UP TROY AIKMAN AND JOE BUCK WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE FOR ESPN | BOBBY BURACK

Still, whether Watt holds the job through next season — and into the Super Bowl — may depend less on his performance than on who becomes available.

The contracts of both ESPN's Troy Aikman and Fox's Greg Olsen expire after the Super Bowl in February, which Aikman will call alongside Joe Buck for ESPN/ABC.

In one of the more puzzling developments of this broadcast cycle, ESPN and Aikman have yet to reach a contract extension even after the network finalized a new deal with Buck.

Aikman is still widely regarded as the NFL's premier game analyst. With deep-pocketed ownership and a Super Bowl on the horizon, CBS could make a serious run at him. Signing Aikman would likely require a contract worth more than $25 million annually.

Olsen would also be an attractive option. At just 41, he already has Super Bowl experience, having called Super Bowl LVII for Fox alongside Kevin Burkhardt before Tom Brady replaced him as the network's lead analyst.

Watt does have one meaningful advantage: a full season of chemistry with Nantz.

The biggest question surrounding Aikman is how quickly he would develop that same rapport with a play-by-play partner other than Buck after more than two decades together. He'd likely adapt without much trouble, but the uncertainty could work in Watt's favor.

Olsen, by contrast, has worked successfully with multiple play-by-play partners throughout his broadcasting career. He has built chemistry quickly with each. ESPN could also emerge as a logical landing spot if it ultimately fails to re-sign Aikman.

If neither Aikman nor Olsen lands with ESPN or CBS, Netflix would become an obvious contender as it continues expanding its NFL portfolio.

Elsewhere, Amazon has reportedly re-signed Kirk Herbstreit to remain its lead NFL color analyst.
