The life of a woman who filed a lawsuit alleging she was drugged and raped at a Cornell University fraternity house has been completely upended, her lawyer has said. Speaking to the BBC ahead of a hearing in the civil case on Friday in New York, her lawyer Thomas Giuffra said: "She feels under fire. "The woman, known anonymously as Jane Doe, is suing her former school and the fraternity over the alleged incident involving several men at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. When the case went viral, a series of "I am Jane Doe" solidarity posts appeared, but there was a separate campaign aimed at unmasking her and defending the men, who have all denied any wrongdoing. The men, who are also being sued by the woman, have not been charged with any crimes.

Her decision to sue was rooted in a desire for closure and to take power back, he said.

Health officials across Africa are racing to determine how Nigeria’s first Ebola patient ⁠in more than a decade ⁠became infected, amid fears ​the outbreak could spread further after reaching a fourth African country. The Swiss foreign ministry said on Friday the patient in Nigeria, the Ugandan-born wife of a Swiss diplomat based in Abuja, had not travelled to the Democratic Republic of ⁠Congo, where the outbreak was first detected in mid-May before spreading to Uganda, Kenya and now Nigeria. The woman was believed to have contracted Ebola while travelling with her husband in Uganda, the ministry added. The new information contradicts accounts from Uganda, which previously said the woman had travelled to eastern DR Congo, and will raise concerns about the ability of authorities to contain the outbreak, which is already the most geographically widespread in history. The Ugandan government reported Ebola cases in May and June before WHO declared it Ebola-free in August. A Ugandan government spokesperson told Reuters on Thursday that Uganda had no ​Ebola cases and that, if ​it did, it would make that information ​public.
