Sunny Hostin is out on an island over the Cornell gang-rape case ... defending the seven accused frat bros and questioning how the story is being reported.

The "View" host said Tuesday she read the Jane Doe's original nine-page 2024 statement and believes prosecutors couldn't have brought a case based on that account.

Sunny -- who prosecuted sex crimes for 10 years -- said the woman described voluntarily drinking, using ketamine and consenting to sexual activity, including two threesomes. She also noted three of the accused men allegedly never touched her, and another told people to leave the room.
