What happens when consent, intoxication, disturbing text messages, and institutional accountability collide in a sexual-assault controversy?
In this episode of Inside the Polygraph, David Goldberg examines the case that has become widely known online as the “Cornell Seven.” Drawing on his experience as a former sexual-assault investigator and expert polygraph examiner, David discusses the allegations, the reported communications between the individuals involved, and the difficult questions surrounding a person's ability to provide meaningful consent while severely intoxicated. S2E35_CORNELL_TRANSCRIPT
David also examines the disciplinary consequences described in the case and questions whether institutions do enough when confronted with serious allegations involving their students. S2E35_CORNELL_TRANSCRIPT
But the conversation goes beyond one case.
Why might someone who reports sexual assault delay coming forward? Why might a person initially minimize or struggle to describe what happened? And why shouldn't delayed reporting automatically be treated as proof that an allegation is false?
David discusses the shame, trauma, fear and psychological aftermath that can accompany sexual victimization—and why survivors deserve to be heard and allegations deserve to be investigated seriously. S2E35_CORNELL_TRANSCRIPT
