Liz Cho sits down with ABC News’ Aaron Katersky to talk about the latest developments in the Cornell University rape case.
NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — There are protests and outrage on Cornell University’s campus over how it handled accusations of gang rape by seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity.
This case has ignited a push to change controversial consent laws in the state of New York.
On this episode of “UpClose,” we’ll talk to a New York State assemblyman who has introduced a bill to change the consent law, and ABC’s chief investigative correspondent about the latest on the case.
We’ll also take a look at the battle for New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District in what is one of the most competitive races in the country.
Republican incumbent Tom Kean Jr. is facing Democrat Rebecca Bennett.
This is one of the key races that could decide which party controls the House after the midterm elections.
