00:00In what world would the police learn from a victim that she'd been literally gang raped while intoxicated by five
00:07men in a fraternity house and not elevate those allegations to the district attorney?
00:13In what world does the district attorney not even interview her or anyone else involved or even request the full
00:20transcript?
00:22This woman, this young woman, had already endured something that is utterly unspeakable.
00:30And then at every turn, she was failed by people and institutions with an obligation to protect her.
00:37And that's why I believe this case demands a special prosecutor who will provide a fresh and thorough review of
00:44all the facts, including the information that has recently come to light.
00:48And that is why I'm invoking the power conferred to me as the governor of the state of New York
00:52to enlist Attorney General James as an independent special prosecutor in this case.
00:58She'll follow the facts.
01:00She'll examine the evidence and go wherever it leads.
01:04And if the evidence supports criminal charges, she will pursue them.
