The tape in question in the unlawful surveillance case against three Cornell freshmen contains no sexual act or nudity, and the students’ suspensions have been lifted, said Raymond Schlather, the attorney for Gregory B. Kubin ’09.
Simeon Moss ’73, Cornell press office director, said Schlather’s description of the video was accurate to the best of his understanding, but declined comment on the suspensions, citing confidentiality rules that apply to the Judicial Adminstrator’s proceedings.
“There are a couple of points that need to be clarified,” Schlather said. “The video did not show any sexual activity … and there was no state of undress.”
Schlather said that he wanted to correct “false and frankly libelous statements made by Cornell media, and other media in the area.”
Kubin, along with Remy P. Garson ’09 and Peter A. Cook ’09, was arraigned for unlawful surveillance in the 2nd degree and conspiracy in the 5th degree Monday. Garson was also charged with 2nd degree harassment, a violation. Unlawful surveillance is a Class E felony, and conspiracy is a misdemeanor.
