‘Cornell 7’ website to expose alleged gang rapists, issues chilling warning: ‘Makes me more dangerous’
A former South Park writer has created a website to expose the alleged Cornell gang rapists and those in the Ivy League institution who gave them “a break” – warning that “accountability is coming.”
Satirist Toby Morton, who wrote five episodes of the hit Comedy Central show between 2001 and 2003, addressed the seven frat brothers who allegedly drugged and raped a 20-year-old woman at their house in Ithaca, New York, in October 2024, in an Instagram post on Sunday.
“Hello, Matthew Ingalls, Johnathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris, Scott Kretzschmar,” the post begins, before Morton reveals he has created a website called “TheCornell7.org” to document their alleged crimes.
“I not only own variations of your domain names, but I now have photos,” Morton wrote. “I’m now slowly finding out where you work.”
Morton also warned that he is going after “those employed at Cornell who gave you a break, and I’m coming for them too.”
“I’ve received messages reminding me I’m not a journalist, I’m ‘just a satirist,’” he wrote.
“This is true. But this makes me more dangerous. I have no limits. No boundaries. Nobody to tell me I’ve gone too far.”
Morton’s vigilante online justice comes as prosecutors reopened an investigation into the alleged gang rape of the former Cornell student, after her lawyer filed a civil lawsuit earlier this month.
It isn’t the first time the writer has purchased a domain name and created a website as a form of activism. He owns about 50 domain names, according to the Washington Post, including websites mocking Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Sen. Chuck Schumer and President Trump.
The original investigation into the alleged 2024 assault resulted in no criminal charges, but the civil complaint contains “dramatically different” allegations, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten told ABC News.
The alleged victim did not claim she was drugged or assaulted at the time, and the photo of the group chat which is included in the latest complaint was never provided to the DA’s office, Van Houten said.
Here’s the latest on the Cornell frat probe:
- Accused Cornell frat bro’s lawyer dismisses heinous rape claims as ‘money grab,’ claims client only guilty of ‘immature comment’
- Cornell attacks gang rape accuser as ‘irresponsible’ for essay claims while defending how it handled accusations
- Former South Park writer creates ‘Cornell 7’ website to expose alleged gang rapists, issues chilling warning: ‘Makes me more dangerous’
- Cornell frat bros forcibly drugged student before horrifying gang rape, texted ‘free p–y’ invitation: suit
“She never says that she was drugged without her knowledge. She admits to taking drugs and alcohol voluntarily and with knowledge. She does not allege that she was forced to engage in any acts. She does not say that she was physically helpless or unconscious or incapacitated at any point during the time at the fraternity house,” he said.
In her civil complaint, filed Sept. 16, the victim, only identified as Jane Doe, alleges that the seven members of Cornell’s Chi Phi fraternity drugged and sexually assaulted her at the frat house in October 2024 – and sickeningly invited other fraternity members to join the assault in a group chat.
She claims two fraternity members urged her to take a substance they described as ketamine before sexually assaulting her.
The seven fraternity members, none of whom have been criminally charged, were given temporary suspensions and “were afforded the opportunity to mitigate their conduct by submitting essays” to the university, the complaint states.
Cornell has denied the claim.
“Any suggestion that the university did not impose consequential punishments for those involved is false,” the Ivy League institution said in a statement. “A continuation of the false narrative that there were minimal consequences in this case is irresponsible, will make survivors feel less safe and supported, and will perpetuate the underreporting of sexual assault.”
The lawsuit names Cornell University and all seven alleged gang rapists, accusing them of negligence, breach of contract and violations of New York Law.
She is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, though the filing doesn’t list a specific amount.
Wells Fargo fires ‘Cornell 7’ frat bro
One of the seven Cornell students being reinvestigated over shocking allegations of a gang rape has lost his job at a North Carolina bank, according to a report.
Diego Sarabia is no longer employed at the Charlotte branch of Wells Fargo where he had worked since 2022, according to TMZ, which said his termination was directly connected to the announcement Monday that a new investigation has been launched.
Sarabia is one of the so-called “Cornell 7” – a group of alumni and fraternity members cited in the civil suit by accuser Jane Doe, who claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted at the Chi Phi frat house in October 2024.
