Lawyers for one of the men named in a civil lawsuit brought by a former Cornell University student who alleged she was sexually assaulted at a school fraternity in 2024 is asking a New York judge to impose a gag order in the case, arguing the publicity surrounding the case risks tainting potential jurors.

Attorneys for Diego Sarabia on Monday asked for “narrowly tailored restrictions” that would prevent lawyers and parties in the civil case from commenting on the allegations outside of court.

    Man I misread this headline and thought it was an onion article at first.

    “Arroused Cornell University student asks for gag order” much more fun then the reality of this story.

        AKA Allen Turner which is the name Brock Turner, former and current rapist, goes by now, since his name is so well known. Allen Turner, the rapist, should never escape what he did by trying to go by a different first name (which to be clear is Brock Turner the rapist -> Allen Turner the rapist).
