Toby Morton, the former South Park writer who went viral after creating a website spotlighting details of an alleged gang rape at Cornell University, continues to widen his net with satirical websites used to target politicians and public figures.
On September 16, a woman, known as Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit which alleged that she had been raped by multiple individuals in an incident that took place in 2024. The incident involved alcohol and the drug ketamine.
A criminal probe into the alleged gang rape has been reopened. Men named in the civil lawsuit have denied wrongdoing.
As the national outcry following the allegation of a gang rape at a fraternity at Cornell University surged online, Morton launched a site entitled “The Cornell 7,” which contained documents and information about the case.
Since then, he has continued to create more websites that generate attention. After Megyn Kelly weighed in on the allegations in the Cornell University case, Morton created a website dedicated to her. He has done the same for the president of Cornell University, Michael Kotlikoff.
Speaking to Newsweek over email in response to a comment request for this story, Morton said, “I focus on people and institutions who seem to believe accountability is something reserved for the less fortunate.”
“Megyn Kelly has the microphone, Jennifer Witz helps pay for it, and Cornell’s president apparently needs reminding that running an Ivy League university requires more than protecting its reputation while hoping the public confuses institutional prestige with moral integrity,” he added.
Cornell University declined to comment on this story.
Newsweek has contacted a representative for Kelly and the media team for Sirius XM via email outside of regular working hours.

In 2025, Morton came into the spotlight after he bought two Trump Kennedy Center domains, prior to President Donald Trump trying to rename the building. He describes himself as a creator of “anti-fascist websites,” and has other work specifically focused on the Trump administration, including a Trump obituary website and a website about White House adviser Stephen Miller that describes him as "as racist as racists can be."
His work continues to generate attention—he has more than 700,000 followers on Instagram, and public figures including the actress Sophia Bush and the American journalist Carole Radziwill have left supportive comments on recent posts he has made.
But he has also been criticized and recently shared a notice that he had received 247 complaints over his domain associated with the Cornell University president.
Morton told Newsweek over email, “The response has been overwhelming. The messages from people who’ve felt ignored, intimidated, or silenced remind me exactly why I do this.”
“Their courage means far more to me than any threat ever could,” he said.
Newsweek has rounded up a list of people that he is currently targeting with websites.
Megyn Kelly
Kelly, the conservative influencer and host of The Megyn Kelly Show, spoke about the Cornell case in remarks that generated significant attention online and repeatedly criticized those she says are trying to undermine the accused students' due-process rights.
Morton shared that he was creating a website dedicated to Kelly in an Instagram post.
"Hello, Megyn Marie Kelly. I see you blocked me on social media. How adorable. I’ve been so busy doing things that matter, I completely forgot to give you the attention you so desperately need," he wrote.
Jennifer Witz
Morton confirmed in an Instagram post that he also set up a website targeting SiriusXM CEO Jennifer Witz.
SiriusXM is where Kelly’s content airs.
“If you thought my campaign against Megyn Kelly wouldn’t extend to her sponsors and SiriusXM CEO Jennifer C. Witz, who oversaw Kelly’s contract extension, you must be new here,” he wrote in a post on Instagram.
Michael L. Kotlikoff
Morton has directed specific attention to the Cornell president. He owns his domain name, which directs to the Cornell 7 website.
That site features a fake apology, which reads in part: “President Kotlikoff here! Boy howdy, what a mess!”
“Apparently, knowing about something and doing something about it are two entirely different things. Who knew? Anyway, here's my original apology. I'm totes sorry, especially about the headlines. Those have been absolutely devastating. To me,” it reads.
Morton wrote in a post on Instagram announcing this, “I’ve been receiving legal threats over alleged misinformation, and apparently things escalated when certain people discovered I own Cornell President Michael I. Kotlikoff’s domain name, MichaeliKotlikoff.com.”
Kotlikoff has publicly apologized. He told the New York Times, “The fact that Jane Doe experienced what she experienced at Cornell is something that I am personally sorry for. And I think this entire campus is sorry that occurred.”
What Happens Next
Morton told Newsweek that he will continue to make more websites.
“More websites, more names, and more powerful people learning that controlling the narrative is considerably harder when you don’t own the conversation,” he said.
“I’m doing this for people who’ve been ignored, intimidated, and made to feel their voices don’t matter. And if powerful people find that threatening, imagine how terrifying it must have been for the people who had no power at all,” Morton told Newsweek.
