A Cornell University student has provided testimony to investigators regarding a sexual assault incident. According to the report, the student stated that she had consumed marijuana and was aware that she had ingested ketamine prior to the event. She described the experience as leaving her feeling defenseless, specifically noting that she felt like 'bait' while in the presence of others she referred to as 'lions.'

The investigation into the incident is ongoing. The student’s testimony highlights the role of substance use in her inability to defend herself during the encounter. While the report focuses on the student's account of her physical and mental state at the time of the alleged assault, it does not detail the identities of the individuals involved or the specific circumstances surrounding how the substances were administered. The case remains a subject of concern regarding campus safety and the impact of illicit substances on student vulnerability.
