In a six-page statement given to police in November 2024, a Cornell University student told a campus police officer what happened to her at the Chi Phi fraternity house a month prior "felt like coercion," according to a copy of the police report obtained by ABC News.

In an interview with ABC News this week, Van Houten described the allegations as "morally disturbing" but argued Jane Doe's 2024 account of the incident suggested that she consented to the sexual activity. He said that she did not withdraw her consent, and that when she raised concerns, the fraternity members "stopped and did not pursue what they were doing."

According to her 2024 statement, at one point she said "no to the foursome" one of the fraternity brothers proposed, she said in her statement.

"I was horrified because I was really embarrassed that these individuals had seen me completely naked."

During the final threesome, Jane Doe said, "I remember being totally disgusted at the situation, and I felt very tired and intoxicated. I would say that my level of overall intoxication was about a 8 out of 10 level of intoxicated. I would say that it was the most intoxicated I've ever been in my life. I felt like I was unable to make any decision because of how intoxicated I was," the statement said.
