Who Is
Jane Doe
Really?

Evidence. Due process. Competing narratives. The record deserves scrutiny.

WHY THIS EXISTS

Controversial cases still require evidence, process, and room for dissent.

This site is built to present opposition, documentary material, competing interpretations, and public discussion without treating allegations as adjudicated facts. Court records, attributed reporting, editorial argument, and reader comments are labeled as different kinds of material.

DISCUSSION

Topics controlled by the administrators; comments controlled by their authors.

Big Tish James
Should Big Tish James be involved in the investigation and prosecution of the Cornell 7?

Can a woman consent to sex if she is voluntarily intoxicated?
Lucy Craig engaged in voluntary consumption of alcohol and illegal substances. Is she capable of consent? And if not, are the men, who were also drinking and consuming illegal substances, according to public reporting, capable of consent? Can they claim that they were raped by Lucy Craig?

Did Lucy Craig Rape Those Drunken Boys?
Her texts say she was not drunk. The bar says she was not drunk. The boys were drunk. Did Lucy Craig (AKA "JANE DOE") rape those boys? Leave a comment with your opinion.

Discuss: Should Lucy Craig Sue Thomas Guiffra?
Thomas Guiffra's famefag attention seeking, publicity stunts have backfired. It is now known that he was leaking records related to the case (the poorly redacted afformation in support of proceeding as Jame Doe was only in possession of the person who filed it). He named a U.S. Active Service Marine, lied about a swat event, filed a fake DMCA in bad faith to this blog, named an incorrect person as a defendant, misrepresents New York's dram shop liability laws against Moonies, and named an entity that doesn't actually exists on paper. His hope was, similar to the Comb's cases, to throw shit against the wall, leak favorable documents, cancel anyone who speaks against his client, and sway the public sympathy. That backfired, with help from LucyCraog.blog. As her case becomes a comedy of errors, we ask you, should Lucile H. Craig sue Thomas Guiffra and his firm for malpractice?

Hi, I just want to say I personally know "Jane Doe". I was in a few classes with her and I can confirm her name is NOT Lucy Craig. Lucy is just another student at the school and is not affiliated with this case. Spreading misinformation about a person is extremely harmful, especially when everything is alleged. You don't have to agree with this message, but I just want to make you guys aware that this is not the person you are looking for.

Let me guess, a fem-nazi trying to divert attention? If I were to guess you are probably a student at a university somewhere, but not Cornell. Maybe somewhere like Virginia Polytechnic Institute or some other non-Ivy League university or academic learning center. You probably never attended any classes with "Jane Doe" or for that matter any classes at Cornell University.
 
Given that you are using this site, I would say that you are a first- or second-year student -because the courses are easier and it is a Saturday so you have no studying to do. Maybe your school had a few student protests, or you saw online somewhere that you can try to manipulate and sow doubt with comments like this since the whole "I am Jane Doe" nonsense did not work.

This is not true either. The images are taken from her still available IG account, which places her at her parents home in Birmingham, and at Cornell.
What a coincidence that her name happens to be Lucile H. Craig, from Birmingham, AL, attending Cornell University until something "dramatic" happened that she no longer posts about Cornell after only a short period of time attending the school -and bragging about it signficantly. And what a coincidence that her family home in Birmingham is connected to her father's medical services company which also connects to her, was swatted, as confirmed by her own attorney, the same time and date.
If there are two Lucile H. Craigs with identical life stories as told through her Instagram account, identical home town, selective enrollment university, and absence therefrom, and post attendance, post lawsuit police incidents all connecting, then we really live in the matrix.

"that's not up for you to decide"
 
Actually it is. It was placed on us, as a society, to judge Lucy by her own attorneys' actions. Her attorneys wanted wanted us to judge her as a victim, to take their word for it, and to protest and demand that the "culture" at Cornell be given an enigma that is only favorable to his consignment fee.
 
However, if we take the position that is fundamentally wrong, that we must judge, having been invited to do exactly that by her attorneys' 5,000 million media appearances, then all of sudden we are not supposed to "judge". The attorneys want the population to be sheep and just accept their version without any questioning. We are okay to judge her favorably as a victim, but we are not okay to mention her name if we do not accept her narrative.
 
Sorry, but I will indeed judge her as a whore, based on the same evidence that she wants us to disregard and just take her lolwyer's word that she is a "victim".
 
The first amendment would be useless if we did not judge her, either favorably or disfavorably to her position, because we have been invited by her representation to do exactly that, and when we did, and when we saw the discrepancies and omissions and implausiblility of her narrative all of a sudden we have become "begots" in the eyes of her attorney.
 
An attorney who has just labelled half the country as "bigots" merely because they do not buy his famefag narrative cannot be trusted with anything else because he has shown that he cannot be trusted with the vital and most meaningful aspects of stewardship of the first amendment. He has shown that he only cares about the first amendment if it is favorable to his client and his media narrative and his case, but if you challenge that, well you are automatically a bigot.

We also hope that we get sued. Anti-SLAPP would be filed within seconds demanding massive sanctions against Plaintiff for violating our first amendment right to be critical and examine and argue the matter placed before the court of public opinion by Lucy Craig through her famefag lolwyer himself. Sanctions against a frivilous lolsuit would be in the hundreds of thousands or more.
 
Don't take our word for it, ask this same judge who dismissed a lawsuit by Sean Combs against NBC for defamation and awarded NBC almost 500,000$ in anti-SLAPP sanctions. https://lucycraig.blog/article/judge-phaedra-f-perry-bond

They left us out because they would have to publish the name Lucy Craig.
Also, these sudden flood of articles from all the publications talking about "doxxing" (coincidental that they all came in one day) is to put pressure on platforms to delete the content they don't like -but because they cannot control or delete or moderate anything here on LucyCraig.blog it is pointless to include us in their reporting.
The same goes for legal filings. The lolwyer for Lucy Craig hates us, but he can't cry like a bitch or even mention us without mentioning Lucy Craig, so he has to suck it up.
We will not be censored, we will not be moderated, and we have created a platform that, by it's very name, cannot be challenged without naming Lucy Craig at the same time.

You can just tell the femcel feminists who don't get male attention from the high quality guys they actually want are SEETHING they can only hate men for this case, not "straight white" men.
 
Notice they accuse you of hating women when they openly hate men. Notice they call you an incel when they clearly don't have the male attention they're looking for. Notice they call you fat ugly and unfuckable when they act like feminists, feminists are literally known for being fat and ugly, and as mentioned before they are not getting positive male attention from the high quality men they shoot for, otherwise they wouldn't hate men.
 
They accuse you of hating women, but they ignore when the men in Jane's own story did take no for an answer, or when she gave explicit consent to them, yes this applies to the men who joined later. That or they say she couldn't have consented bc she was intoxicated, ignoring the fact she admitted to having sex with 2 guys who were far more intoxicated than her, passing out and heaving, before the other guys even got there. They do hate men, that's why they accuse you of hating women.
 
They wanna push the agenda women are victims and men are perpetrators because they are cry bullies and want power. Playing the victim card gives them the attention and leverage they want to guilt you and look like a good person who cares, but it's performative because they don't give a shit about Matthew Ingalls.
 
Take it from a woman who's been victimized her whole life, you ladies are the problem. It's not all men, it's not most men, it's not just men, it's you. If a man can be beaten by a mob of black people and watch his family be killed or robbed by black people and not hate or discriminate against all black people, you don't have to be a bitter nag who hates men.
 
To the men, if you have never been called sexist, racist, homophobic, you're probably a sanitized simp who these ladies would walk all over and cheat on for a Chad anyway. Take their insults as compliments~ ❤️

SITE: UPDATES / TRANSPARENCY REPORT
 
Updates:
 
  • We have created a method to monitor all related cases... Including the lawsuit in Albany, New York brought by Lucy Craig's victim Mr. Lopes to stop the appointment of Big Tish James as Special Prosecutor. The cases are cataloged at the same location "View docket" from the menu. Any future change of venues, countersuits, alternative or parallel suits / criminal matters, can now be added within seconds. The record will always remain. Once it is on the docket, no future sealing orders will erase it from Lucy Servers.
 
  • You can now run a train on comments and article reactions. Click the train reaction and see for yourself. The more reactions the longer the train is being ran.
 
TRANSPARENCY REPORT:
 
  • Three comments have been hidden today. They appear to be the same person, inferred from back-to-back-to-back nature and context/content. We are unsure if we made the correct decision, so we are sharing the comments screenshot here for the community to let us know if we made the correct decision or not. We will review the decision after hearing all sides.
 
  • We have reach 6,000,000 page views, and are consistently between 175,000-250,000 unique daily visitors.
 
SUCCESS:
 
  • The docket mirror system (now expanded to multiple dockets) works perfectly, and preserves all records immediately when they are made public. Today we saw the judge order the sealing of a document that was filed later in the day yesterday. Not even 24 hours later. Our systems preserved the filings, the status changes, the metadata, and record. The official docket no longer has the document available, but the Lucy Server Docket has it preserved for ever. This system has been expanded so that we can easily add new dockets as we learn about them -like the Big Tish James docket which we already added.
 
COMING SOON: Cite your sources. Now that we have every document, video, meme, recording, and content, we are adding an academic style "Cite your sources" button to every page. You will be able to search for the keywords inside any content metadata (transcripts, OCR, PDF extracts, articles, images, videos, audios, etc) and accurately cite to the direct primary source. If you don't see it already, it is coming any moment, just finishing the final touches.
 
As always, let us know what new features, ideas, concepts, or functions you would like to see and we will do our best to build and code them into our platform.
 
KEEP THE CONVERSATIONS HAPPENING. Happy Friday.

If a "victim's" perspective and story can change over time, and that changed story can be the basis for a lawsuit / criminal charges, then isn't it reasonable to doubt people's capacity to understand their experience and participation in real time?
 
In other words, doesn't this case discredit women's decision making ability, and that ultimately, women need to be protected from themselves?

Coercion for sex can be rape, but where coercion starts and ends is a gray area and should be looked at by legal professionals, not a random person claiming victimhood based on their personal opinion.
 
"have sex with me or I'll leave/cheat on you" can be emotional blackmail, whether it's said by a man or a woman. Women do that too and it's manipulative and abusive. It's very different from addressing issues in the relationship, like withholding sex or not having enough for your partners preferences.
 
"Have sex with me or I will fire you" is less of a gray area than “have sex with me or I’ll not hire you” given a boss and an employee have a power dynamic and this is clearly a threat based on personal choices that have nothing to do with the job.
 
Basically if you can't say no or there's something being held over your head it's coercion, if you can say no and it's respected (like Lucy Craig) it's not rape. If consent isn't freely given it's not consent, if it's a transaction or you can refuse it's consent.
