Cornell Frat Bro Taps Diddy's Lawyer Teny Geragos

TMZ reports one of the Cornell frat brothers accused in the Jane Doe gang rape lawsuit has hired the same firm that helped Diddy dodge the most serious charges in his federal trial.

TMZ reports that one of the Cornell frat brothers named in the Jane Doe gang rape lawsuit has lawyered up with Teny Geragos — the same attorney whose firm helped Diddy beat the most serious charges in his federal trial.

Geragos is now handling the case for the accused frat brother, though TMZ doesn't name which of the defendants she represents. The move is a serious escalation: Geragos is a high-profile defense attorney, and her involvement signals this frat brother isn't planning to settle quietly.

Diddy's legal team, led by Teny Geragos' firm, successfully fought off the most severe counts in his federal sex trafficking trial. That outcome is the kind of resume line that makes a defendant's family reach for the checkbook.

The Jane Doe lawsuit alleges a gang rape involving multiple Cornell fraternity members. No criminal charges have been filed yet, and the university has not commented on the civil case.

This is one of the stories featured in the new TMZ and New York Post YouTube collab, "The Low Down," which also covers Halle Berry's custody drama, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's birthday dinner, and Trump's firing squad order.
