United States: Violence against civilians in Washington D.C.

The case of gang rape of a female student at Cornell University has become a news item again in America, after a new civil complaint was filed and the criminal investigation was reopened. An important part of this case is the messages exchanged between members of a student fraternity on Snapchat. According to the complaint, around 1:30 AM, a member of the fraternity sent a message with an offensive phrase about having access to "free sex" with this girl in the group. After that, several other members also entered the room. The woman claims that the assault continued in several stages and ended around 5:45 AM.
