CORNELL: Accused Male Is ‘Coerced and Threatened’

Wolfgang Ballinger was a junior at Cornell when he was arrested on charges of attempted rape. Only arrested, and not convicted, Cornell suspended Ballinger, banned him from campus, and placed Psi Upsilon- the frat he was president of- on interim suspension. Ballinger’s attorney Sarah Wesley, paints a dark picture of police mishandling the investigation, and claims there are “serious questions of credibility with respect to the ‘victim.’” Ms. Wesley likened Ballinger’s case to the now-discredited Rolling Stone story.
