Members of forums across the country have come across three pornographic videos of a woman masturbating in the libraries of Cornell University. The first video released to the public was described as ‘pretty sick’ by the school’s director of press relations Claudia Wheatley. “When I was a kid, my mother said some people will do anything for attention, and 50 years later, I’m still amazed by how low people will go,” Wheatley said, according to the Cornell Daily Sun.
The initial video was first posted to a porn website but then made its way to Ezra Hub, which is a forum for Cornell students. A person who has an account with Ezra Hub posted the link to the video on the forum this past Monday. The videos have since been deleted from Ezra Hub but people are still posting comments throughout the day.
“This video is clearly filmed in Carpenter [Hall]. You can go to that exact spot and look around,” the user who posted the video said. “Even the chairs are the same as in the video. My question is, what the poppycock? She’s facing a window (the one by the bike racks) and it’s broad daylight. And at one point, you can see people behind her studying.”
Not long after the first video appeared, two additional videos were posted. The two added videos took place in the Cornell Law Library. They were also posted on Ezra Hub. Wheatley said that she has not talked to the person who posted the links to the videos or the person in the videos. The person in the videos has been identified as ‘Cameron Knight,’ who is an amateur model hailing from Syracuse, New York.
“I don’t know what was going on there … If that’s the kind of attention she was looking for, I guess she got it,” Wheatley said.
