ABC News has obtained a recording of a phone call between Jane Doe and the fraternity brother she went to see the night she was allegedly attacked. The call appears to show that he was trying to convince her he meant no harm and she consented. Matthew Ingalls: ...want me to give my recollection of the entire night? Three weeks after her traumatic night at the Chi Phi house, a then-Cornell student, now known as Jane Doe, called Matthew Ingalls, the friend who invited her to the fraternity that night, recording the entire conversation. She told him she spent time in the emergency room and in therapy because there's so much damage on my body and my brain. She said, if I wanted to take this somewhere, what y'all did would be classified as gang rape...you already knew when I came in...I was 10 shots deep. Ingalls responded with a different recollection. Matthew Ingalls: You did, you said you hadn't been anywhere. Jane Doe said she was 100% sure. She told him she had been at a bar for a sorority event and I never lie. She asked him how they ended up in a threesome with one of his frat brothers. Matthew Ingalls: So you, you, you come in, say hi. We start dancing for like maybe three to five minutes, and then I pop the question. You say yes. Then I remember, like, we didn't know who else to bring, so I go up to [REDACTED], who was on the dance floor too, and I pop the question, and he's like, 'Yo,' and then we go upstairs. Jane Doe then asking for his help to identify all of the men, saying she remembered four in the bed and more standing around the room. Ingalls seemed to suggest both of their memories may not be accurate. Matthew Ingalls: I have racked my brain for this mystery. You know, it's possible that both of us, like, remember this and it's not true. Jane Doe pushed back, saying, No because I remember looking up and being like, 'That is too many people.' She then asked, Do you remember how any of these guys walked in? Matthew Ingalls: The party was sort of, like, crowded, so people started, like um, filling up the balcony just because there was nowhere else to go. Ingalls did not mention that during the incident he posted to a group on Snapchat a photo of her in bed and an invitation to his fraternity brothers, saying, Boys come whip it out. Cornell expelled Ingalls and another student and suspended two others. In this video obtained by ABC News, Cornell police inform one of the suspended students he is unwelcome on campus. All seven fraternity brothers have denied wrongdoing. Ingalls has not responded to Jane Doe's lawsuit, but during Cornell's internal investigation, he said he was too intoxicated to consent and suggested Jane Doe assaulted him. This week, Cornell will announce which outside law firm will evaluate how the university handled Jane Doe's allegations and how it could improve its response to accusations of sexual violence on campus. And the New York Attorney General's office is already reaching out to Jane Doe as part of the reopened criminal investigation.
