The woman who accused members of a Cornell University fraternity of gang rape was "failed" by people obligated to protect her, including campus police and the county prosecutor, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Friday.

“Someone knew more than they were letting people know,” the New York governor said Friday after appointing a special prosecutor to the 2024 case.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she was 'deeply disturbed' by how Cornell police handled the allegations of a gang rape at a frat house in 2024.

Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed Letitia James, the attorney general, to investigate the original allegations and why a police report omitted crucial information.

Super PACs backing Democrat Kathy Hochul are opening up the spigot to aid her re-election bid against Republican rival Bruce Blakeman.

New York’s minimum wage will not increase in January for the first time since 2024, when the state began tying it to the rate of inflation. But Gov. Kathy Hochul intends to pitch a proposal that would raise it anyway.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman opposes the Gov. Kathy Hochul-backed New York City takeover of Brooklyn’s financially ailing Maimonides hospital. The New York State Public Health and Health Planning Council (PHHPC) recently approved the proposal to make Maimonides Health part of the city’s public hospital system — NYC Health + Hospitals.
