Now, just a content warning, of course, at the top of this story.

I know that most people have probably come across this on social media.

And it's important to say that even though you may know the contents of this story, that just take care while listening.

What I want

to

start by doing with this story is that I don't know about you, but I feel like when I first saw this on my feed, it almost felt like I was at the end of seeing commentary and I'd missed the facts of the case.

Yeah.

You know, there's been so many valid and important contributions about this case, about patriarchy, about rape culture.

It was so important to see all of those things, but I did feel like a lot of the actual bare bones of this were missed in terms of a lot of the content didn't actually explain what had happened and provide factual, legally considered detail.

It's pretty big for

a story like this to have such global repercussions and conversations.

And it feels like a real reckoning moment.

It's been heartening and disturbing.

Every tweet, comment, Instagram, I am Jane Doe, like the content has been never ending for about a week now.

But yeah, I actually didn't know so much of the case until

we looked into these notes.

So I think it's so worthwhile going back to the very beginning.

Yeah.

So let's start.

A Cornell University student says that...

Which is, by the way, a college in the US.

Yeah, it's an Ivy League university in the United States.
