Ex–South Park writer launches TheCornell7.org to publish allegations against seven Cornell fraternity members

# What happened A former South Park writer, Toby Morton, created a website called TheCornell7.org to publish material about seven Cornell University students who are named in a civil lawsuit. The suit alleges the students drugged and gang‑raped a 20‑year‑old former Cornell student at a Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024.

Morton announced on social media that he owns variations of the defendants' domain names, has obtained photos, and is locating where the men work. He also said he plans to target Cornell employees he says gave the men a break.

# Why the criminal probe was reopened

# What the civil complaint alleges The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe in the complaint, alleges that two fraternity members encouraged her to take a substance they described as ketamine and that she was then sexually assaulted. The complaint names seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity. According to reporting on the complaint, the suit also includes an image of a group chat in which other fraternity members discussed the victim.

The lawsuit names both the seven individuals and Cornell University, asserting negligence, breach of contract, and violations of New York law. It seeks compensatory and punitive damages but does not list a specific dollar amount in the public filing.

# University response and disciplinary background Cornell told media that any suggestion the university failed to impose consequential punishments is false. The school said continuing a narrative that minimal consequences occurred would harm survivors and encourage underreporting.

According to the civil complaint, the seven men received temporary suspensions and were given an opportunity to "mitigate their conduct" by submitting essays. The university denies claims that it gave those involved a break.

# What Morton says he will do Morton, who has previously purchased domain names linked to public figures and built websites about them, said in his post that being "just a satirist" makes him "more dangerous," adding he has "no limits" and no institutional checks. He has indicated plans to publish photos and employer information and to pursue Cornell employees he views as complicit. Separate reports say he has also discussed name‑and‑shame billboards.

# Current status and resources None of the seven men have been criminally charged as of the reporting cited in the civil filing. The civil suit filing has prompted renewed attention and the DA's office to reopen its investigation.
