Happy to

do that for you.

In October of 2024, a 20-year-old Cornell student identified as Jane Doe in court papers goes to the Chi Phi fraternity house to see a man she considers a friend.
2:58
She has been drinking at this point.
3:00
Much of what happens at the house is under dispute.
3:02
But at some point, she goes to a separate room with two members of the fraternity.
3:07
There, she says, other men enter over the next few hours.

How does she protect herself against anything horrific happening when drugs and alcohol are involved?
3:51
Mm-hmm
3:51
... we take for granted 911.
3:53
Uh, they're, they don't have 911 in Indonesia, at least not when I was working there, and simple things like kids who are used to riding in cars.
4:01
The kids that we had to interview in Indonesia, they would get sick because they only rode on motorbikes and there were so many chickens roaming around, you know, you couldn't get an, you couldn't get an audio interview.
4:12
And we're really very lucky here.
4:14
Nevertheless, I basically survived a couple more assaults that I detail in my book, and the most recent one was when I was in my 40s and when I was a divorced woman, and it really pushed me to the point where I had to figure out why I couldn't fight back.
4:29
My state of paralysis during that event was so bewildering to me that I chose to face it.

How do you not get out of that?
1:53
Yeah, so what she what she shared with me was that she was approached when she was 16 or 17 on Facebook and it was 1 conversation from he had a really reputable job.
2:06
He actually worked at a district attorney's office somewhere in the United States.
2:10
And he, I know, and he told her, you know, you are so mature for your age.
2:16
And really, you know, you just, you play up to vanity, right? You know, everyone likes to receive compliments.
2:23
Everyone wants to know that they're special and that they're, you know, loved and adored.
2:28
And that's what this trafficker did.

How do what are tips that you would tell people to keep an eye out for? How do how do you if you're in a hotel lobby and it's thousands of people because of an event like FIFA World Cup? What are people to look for to maybe help help these girls?
