In this follow-up episode of Inside the Polygraph, David examines newly discussed evidence surrounding the sexual assault allegations involving seven Cornell University fraternity members, while challenging how the original investigation was conducted.

Drawing on his experience as a former sexual assault investigator and professional polygraph examiner, David addresses:

• New Evidence: A reported recorded conversation between the accuser and a fraternity member, along with troubling text messages.
• Investigative Failures: Why David believes Cornell University Police failed to thoroughly investigate the allegations.
• Intoxication & Sexual Assault: The role of alcohol, alleged ketamine use, and the inability to provide meaningful consent while incapacitated.
• Bystander Responsibility: The moral obligation to intervene when witnessing suspected sexual abuse.
• Cornell's Response: David's criticism of the university's disciplinary actions and questions about institutional accountability.
• The Investigation Moving Forward: Why David believes a thorough, impartial investigation is essential to establishing the truth.

David also delivers a powerful message to parents, students, and universities nationwide: sexual assault allegations must be taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and evaluated on evidence—not reputation, wealth, or institutional influence.

Important Disclaimer: This episode discusses allegations of sexual assault that have not been established as criminal guilt. The individuals named have not been found guilty of a criminal offense according to the episode's account. David's assessments and criticisms reflect his professional opinions, not judicial findings.

What happens when consent, intoxication, disturbing text messages, and institutional accountability collide in a sexual-assault controversy?

In this episode of Inside the Polygraph, David Goldberg examines the case that has become widely known online as the “Cornell Seven.” Drawing on his experience as a former sexual-assault investigator and expert polygraph examiner, David discusses the allegations, the reported communications between the individuals involved, and the difficult questions surrounding a person's ability to provide meaningful consent while severely intoxicated.

David also examines the disciplinary consequences described in the case and questions whether institutions do enough when confronted with serious allegations involving their students. S2E35_CORNELL_TRANSCRIPT

But the conversation goes beyond one case.

Why might someone who reports sexual assault delay coming forward? Why might a person initially minimize or struggle to describe what happened? And why shouldn't delayed reporting automatically be treated as proof that an allegation is false?

David discusses the shame, trauma, fear and psychological aftermath that can accompany sexual victimization—and why survivors deserve to be heard and allegations deserve to be investigated seriously. S2E35_CORNELL_TRANSCRIPT
