Today, CBS News posts transcripts of text messages to and from Jane Doe, the Cornell orgy enthusiast who has since become enshrined in the more naive part of the public’s imagination as a modern day Tess of the d’Urbervilles of the Finger Lakes, a passive, willowy virgin brutally raped by the White Male Power Structure:

She then goes on to talk about allegations about her from her freshman year. I’ll put the nature of the old rumors about Jane Doe behind the paywall, but you can probably guess just from her tendency to open a beer can with her teeth:
