Ex-South Park Writer Launches Website Targeting Cornell 7 and Those Who 'Gave Them a Break': 'Accountability Is Coming'

A former 'South Park' writer has launched a website publicly identifying seven Cornell University fraternity members accused in a civil lawsuit of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman, and has warned that 'accountability is coming' for both the men and any Cornell employees he claims 'gave them a break'.

Toby Morton's online campaign comes as prosecutors in Tompkins County reopen their review of the alleged incident at Cornell's Chi Phi fraternity house in Ithaca, New York. None of the seven defendants has been criminally charged and the civil case remains unresolved.

Morton announced TheCornell7.org as Tompkins County prosecutors revisited an alleged October 2024 incident at the Chi Phi fraternity house in Ithaca, New York. The civil case remains unresolved, and none of the seven defendants has been criminally charged.

The site is a private advocacy project running alongside the civil action and renewed prosecutorial review. It has no formal role in either process, and the allegations have not been determined by a court.

Cornell 7 Website Names Lawsuit Defendants

Morton, who wrote five episodes of the Comedy Central series between 2001 and 2003, named Matthew Ingalls, Johnathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris and Scott Kretzschmar in an Instagram post. All seven are named as defendants in the Cornell University civil lawsuit.

'I not only own variations of your domain names, but I now have photos,' Morton wrote. 'I'm now slowly finding out where you work.'

He also addressed unnamed Cornell employees, writing: 'Those employed at Cornell who gave you a break, and I'm coming for them too.' Morton said he had been told that he was 'just a satirist', then added: 'This is true. But this makes me more dangerous. I have no limits. No boundaries. Nobody to tell me I've gone too far.'

Morton's remarks describe his own stated campaign and are not findings by the police, prosecutor or a court. Any question of criminal responsibility or civil liability will be determined through the legal process.

What TheCornell7.org Currently Contains

TheCornell7.org says it will document the woman's account, the civil lawsuit and Cornell University's institutional response. It says the project will compile public records, documented reporting and other information it describes as verified.

The site states: 'The goal is not to be first. The goal is to build a record that can withstand scrutiny.' It says identities and photographs will be checked before more material is added.

All seven defendants are listed across six page headings, with Ingalls and Newell appearing together in one entry. Each page is labelled 'Coming Soon' and currently contains no additional individual allegations or supporting material about the named men.

The site seeks donations and says 'billboards will follow'. It describes its aim as keeping the men named in the case 'in public view' after immediate media attention has passed.

Civil Lawsuit Prompts Fresh Review

The civil complaint was filed on 14 September by a woman identified in court papers as Jane Doe. It alleges that seven members of Cornell's Chi Phi fraternity drugged and sexually assaulted her at the fraternity house in October 2024. The civil lawsuit has not been decided by a court.

The complaint alleges that two defendants pressured the woman to take a substance described as ketamine before the alleged assault. It also says a Snapchat group message invited other fraternity members to join, claims that remain unproven.

Tompkins County prosecutors initially declined to bring charges, citing insufficient evidence following their review of the police investigation.

District Attorney Matthew Van Houten later said his office would re-examine the matter and planned to present it to a grand jury with the complainant's co-operation. The renewed review does not amount to a charge or finding of wrongdoing.

Van Houten said the civil complaint contained 'dramatically different' allegations from the account previously assessed by his office. He said the original information did not allege that the woman had been unknowingly drugged, forced into an act or left incapacitated.

The prosecutor also said the group-chat image cited in the civil complaint had not been supplied to his office during the earlier inquiry. The woman's lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, disputed that characterisation, saying the group chat had been handed to police in 2024 and that investigators had not followed up adequately.

Cornell Disputes Discipline Claim

The lawsuit names Cornell University alongside the seven defendants and alleges negligence, breach of contract and violations of New York law. It seeks compensatory and punitive damages, but does not specify an amount.

The complaint alleges Cornell imposed temporary suspensions and gave the men an opportunity to 'mitigate their conduct by submitting essays'. Cornell disputes the characterisation that it imposed only minimal consequences, while the university has said it cannot discuss individual outcomes because of federal student-privacy rules.

'Any suggestion that the university did not impose consequential punishments for those involved is false,' Cornell said. The university added that claims of minimal consequences could make survivors feel less safe and supported, while contributing to the underreporting of sexual assault.

The Cornell 7 website remains separate from the civil case and the prosecutor's renewed review. Publishing names and allegations online does not establish responsibility, which remains for the courts and law-enforcement authorities to determine.
