Newly obtained text messages between a Cornell University student and a fraternity member she later accused of sexual assault reveal how the two initially worked together to identify who was spreading rumors about an alleged encounter at a fraternity party.

According to TMZ, the messages between the woman, identified in legal proceedings as Jane Doe, and Matthew Ingalls began just days after the October 19 incident.

The conversations show Doe expressing frustration over rumors circulating on campus before her relationship with Ingalls deteriorated in the following weeks.

The messages have emerged amid an ongoing legal dispute involving allegations of sexual assault against several fraternity members.

On October 23, four days after the fraternity party, Doe contacted Ingalls about the attention surrounding the encounter.

"Bro everyone knows," she wrote, adding that she was extremely stressed about how quickly the story had spread.

Ingalls responded that he was frustrated by the rumors and criticized students for discussing something that did not involve them.

Doe expressed concern about her reputation, saying she felt ashamed and believed people were making increasingly exaggerated claims about what happened.

Ingalls reassured her that she had nothing to be embarrassed about and suggested that the people spreading the rumors were responsible for the situation.

The two continued exchanging messages as they attempted to determine who had shared details about the encounter.

During their conversations, Doe suggested that Jonathan Newell, another fraternity member later named in her lawsuit, may have discussed the encounter with other students.

Ingalls defended Newell and suggested that an older fraternity member who had been present could have been responsible for spreading the information.

In separate messages previously reported by TMZ, Doe discussed a sexual encounter involving Newell and Ingalls and initially expressed that she did not believe they should feel ashamed.

However, those messages do not establish whether the entire encounter was consensual.

In a November 3 text to Newell, Doe explicitly alleged that most of what happened that night was nonconsensual.

"Let's be clear that 90% of what happened that night was not consensual," she wrote.

She also alleged that she had been given more ketamine than she could remember and had expressed discomfort during the encounter.

The tone of Doe's conversations with Ingalls reportedly changed after she learned she had been uninvited from an upcoming fraternity Halloween party.

Doe accused the fraternity members of protecting themselves while leaving her to deal with the social consequences.

"The woman will always get the short end of the stick," she wrote, adding that she no longer considered the men her friends.

The exchange marked a noticeable shift from their earlier conversations, when Ingalls had offered reassurance and helped her investigate the rumors.

On November 7, Ingalls contacted Doe after hearing that he was being publicly described as an alleged assaulter.

He asked whether she had made any statements about him.

Doe denied doing so and said she believed people were changing the narrative surrounding the encounter. She also acknowledged hearing rumors that she had been involved in a group sexual encounter.

The following day, Ingalls reached out again and asked whether they could speak.

Doe refused, accusing him of lying.

"I think I'm done talking to you. I know you lied," she wrote.

When Ingalls asked if he could call, Doe responded, "No. Never again."

The newly reported conversations provide additional context about the interactions between Doe and the fraternity members in the weeks following the alleged incident.

While some messages show Doe discussing the encounter without initially describing it as assault, later exchanges include explicit allegations that much of the sexual activity occurred without her consent.

The texts alone do not determine whether sexual assault occurred, and the allegations remain subject to the legal process.
