New texts in Cornell frat assault case as DA reopens probe, convenes grand jury

Newly surfaced text messages from Cornell fraternity members provide additional detail on an alleged attack, prompting District Attorney Matthew Van Houten to reopen the criminal investigation and present the case to a grand jury. The development signals a potential escalation in legal proceedings, though the content of the texts and the nature of the alleged attack remain unspecified. The case's reopening suggests prior investigative conclusions may be revisited, with outcomes now dependent on grand jury deliberation.
