Winston Lee Apologizes to Jane Doe in Recorded Call

Winston Lee, one of the seven Chi Phi fraternity brothers named in a civil lawsuit filed by a fellow Cornell student, apologized to her in a recorded phone call obtained by ABC News.

In the November 2024 call, Lee tells the woman, identified in the suit as Jane Doe, that he feels sorry for her and apologizes for the "backlash" she's receiving.

Jane Doe responds by describing the October 2024 assault, telling Lee she was heavily intoxicated, had been given multiple sedatives, and was surrounded by eight to 10 men. She called what happened gang rape.

Lee then asks why she chose to call him, adding that nothing he saw indicated anything happening in the room. TMZ reports his name appeared in a Snapchat group where fraternity members were allegedly summoned upstairs with a "free p***y" message.

Jane Doe shot back: "You already knew ... I was 10 shots deep."

What the lawsuit alleges

The civil suit accuses Lee of snorting ketamine off Jane Doe's body during the alleged assault.

This is not the first recorded call between Jane Doe and an accused fraternity member. TMZ previously reported a call with Matthew Ingalls, in which Ingalls told her: "It's possible that both of us like remember this, and it's not true."

Lee and Ingalls are among seven former Chi Phi members named in the lawsuit. None have been criminally charged.
