Two of the seven Cornell fraternity members accused of drugging and gang-raping a female student are seemingly still enrolled at the Ivy League school ... even after Cornell said its investigation resulted in expulsions and suspensions.

Cornell's student newspaper, The Cornell Daily Sun, reports the university directory lists Winston Lee and Gillio Lopes as current students in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Diego Sarabia, who is also accused, is listed as an alumnus.

The Sun says it could not confirm the academic status of the other four accused men -- Matthew Ingalls, Johnathan Newell, Scott Norris, or Scott Kretzschmar. Their colleges reportedly are listed as "not applicable" in the directory.

Cornell University says the students disciplined over the alleged 2024 Chi Phi gang rape faced far more than essay duty ... revealing some were expelled or suspended following its investigation.

A Cornell spokesperson tells TMZ ... the school conducted a months-long Title IX probe, using temporary suspensions and other restrictions while the allegations were investigated.

The case then went before a panel of "trained faculty and staff," which heard evidence over several days and gave both the accuser and respondents a chance to testify.

Nolan Wells' death was an accidental drowning, and anyone who says otherwise is full of it ... so says the United Cajun Navy, which is firing back at people online.

Holmes -- the former CEO of the blood testing company Theranos -- posted a message on X Sunday night, and kicked things off by saying that she was "silenced for a long time ... and then imprisoned."

She then said she's "fighting to prove my innocence and come home to my babies and the love of my life," referring to her husband, Billy Evans.

The woman accusing seven Cornell fraternity brothers of drugging and gang-raping her claims the alleged attack drove her out of school ... and she says she's terrified the men could retaliate against her if she's identified.

She says exposing her identity could damage the life she's worked to rebuild, including her career and personal relationships ... and claims the possibility of being publicly named has caused her extreme anxiety, depression and sleepless nights.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the reality star said flatly that throughout the marriage, "[PK] controlled the family finances."

Dorit said whenever she asked questions to understand their finances and participate in financial decisions, he "treated those requests as distrust," which led her to stop pestering and just rely on him.

He claims she never initially said she was unknowingly drugged, forced into sexual activity or incapacitated.

Corie Walsh, the Illinois woman allegedly obsessed with the Lindsay Clancy trial who is accused of killing her 2-year-old son, shared a slew of never-before-seen photos of her child on Facebook before the alleged murder ... and one post is downright chilling.

Walsh eerily wrote in the caption ... "PSA: There was no harming of [Barrett] while posing for photos despite the look of sheer terror on his face."
