Polymarket Forced to Remove Contract About Cornell University Rape Case

Following public backlash, Polymarket removed a contract from its prediction market platform that let users bet on whether any of the seven men accused of raping a Cornell University student in 2024 would face felony sex crime charges. What Was the Contract About? The market centered on allegations by a former Cornell University student, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, who claims she was drugged and gang-raped at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024.
