Cornell attacks gang rape accuser as 'irresponsible' for essay claims while defending how it handled accusations

Cornell University on Monday blasted the alleged victim of a fraternity gang rape as "irresponsible'' for suggesting it let the accused off by just having them write a punishment essay.

The beleaguered Ivy League institution did not deny it ordered the seven accused young men to pen essays after the alleged horrific incident — but claimed there were other consequences, too.
