A former writer for the animated series 'South Park,' Toby Morton, has launched a website targeting seven men named in a lawsuit alleging they raped and drugged a former Cornell University student at a Chi Phi fraternity house party in October 2024, according to multiple outlets.
According to Variety, the woman, identified as Jane Doe, accused the seven men of the assault, and none of them faced legal consequences. Morton's site documents her account along with information about the men and, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Cornell administrators he says 'failed miserably.'
The Hollywood Reporter reports that Morton says the site will include photos, employer information and billboards targeting the seven defendants. The New York Post reports Morton created the site to expose both the men and those at the university he says gave them leniency.
Outlets cited statements from Morton framing the effort as a push for accountability. The Independent quoted him saying there is 'nobody to tell me I've gone too far,' while the New York Post cited a warning attributed to him that 'accountability is coming.'
