Jackie's friends in the story have provided evidence since then that the man Rolling Stone calls "Drew" was electronically introduced to them as "Haven Monahan. Given the anti-violence, anti-rape climate we are in, it is. [160] On November 4, 2016, after 20 hours of deliberation,[161] a jury consisting of eight women and two men found Rolling Stone, the magazine's publisher and Erdely liable for defaming Eramo. [139], Due to increased social skepticism about the prevalence of sexual assault created by the unraveling of Erdely's Rolling Stone report, the Military Justice Improvement Act would be "much harder" to enact, according to Margaret Carlson,[140] and ultimately did not pass in that congressional session. Its been over a year sinceRolling Stones big story on an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia was exposed as a hoax, but the public has long lacked specific details about how UVA student Jackie Coakley concocted her wildly false story. "[34], Fraternity officials, who rejected the published allegations, noted a number of discrepancies in the story: there was no party held on the night that Jackie was allegedly raped, no fraternity member matched the description in the story of the "ringleader" of the rape, and details about the layout of the fraternity house provided by the accuser were wrong. I believed it to be true at the time. After leaving the party around 3 a.m., allegedly with bruises and blood stained clothes, Jackie called her three best friends, "Andy", "Randall" and "Cindy", for support. [27] A local business owner expressed support of non-violent demonstrations and told The Cavalier Daily that "The only way thing[s] change is if you talk about what's happening. Many in the media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband until that story unwound. Oh, the earth spun a little slower, or faster metaphors fail me when it comes to stuff like this.At any rate, you surely remember. [23] . Marc Robert Mullenix. All rights reserved. [170], Street artist Sabo papered Hollywood with posters styled like a Rolling Stone cover featuring the headline "Rape Fantasies and Why We Perpetuate Them". [29][30] After an interview Erdely gave to Slate, in which she was questioned about the way she investigated the piece, some commentators escalated their questioning of the veracity of the article. [27] Community members offered suggestions for immediate steps administration could take to implement preventive measures and address safety concerns regarding sexual assault. Jurez y 18 de Marzo Col. Centro, C.P 96360 Nanchital, Ver. But as Smerconish wrote, "[S]he did not talk to all of Jackie's friends. No one supplied evidence to corroborate Jackie's accusations of a gang rape happening or that the accused rapist, supposedly named "Drew" or "Haven Monahan", even existed. The gang rape lies she produced were also part of that same protracted attempt to enter into a relationship with Ryan Duffin. The collateral damage included a UVa dean, as well as the entire Greek system there and, well, no one thinks a lot of Teresa Sullivan anymore either. "[87], Emily Renda, the university's project coordinator for sexual misconduct, policy and prevention declared that "Rolling Stone played adjudicator, investigator and advocate and did a slipshod job at that. Send tips toblake@dailycallernewsfoundation.org. "[93][105][106] And in this case, our judgement was wrong. The same account was accessed on March 18, 2016, from inside ALTG, Stein, Mitchell, Muse & Cipollone LLP, Jackie's legal firm. Now, that's no longer the case. When Camille Cosby spoke about the rape allegations against her husband Bill, she said: "We all followed the story of the article in the Rolling Stone concerning allegations of rape at the University of Virginia. After the Charlottesville Police made their official report, Wemple said: "What is left of the Rolling Stone piece? In addition, several windows were broken with bottles and cinder blocks, and police officials said that the group received "disparaging messages" on social media. [47], Per records released by Yahoo under subpoena in 2016, Haven Monahan's e-mail account was created from inside the University of Virginia "only one day before that same account sent an email to Jackie's friend Ryan Duffin" in 2012. Prior to the alleged event, Jackie provided evidence of her relationship with "Drew" to her friends by supplying a phone number for "Drew", with whom Jackie's friends subsequently exchanged messages. In Coakleys telling, Monahan was a local boy she was in a relationship with, who then sprung a trap on her at a UVA frat party that resulted in gang rape. When asked if Dana's departure was influenced by the debacle surrounding Erdely's article, the magazine's publisher responded that "many factors go into a decision like this". "[42] Jackie forwarded messages from "Monahan", and "Monahan" exchanged messages with Jackie's friends, including sending a picture of "himself" directly to Ryan Duffin. [122] Dana was replaced by Jason Fine, the managing editor of Men's Journal. Initially, Duffin praises Coakley for having the bravery to come forward, and apologized that he never realized the magnitude of Jackies alleged rape, which he appears to believe actually happened. Minutes later, Duffin says that because of legal concerns, it would be best if he stopped talking with Coakley. Artwork by Jacki McGovern. Writing in Slate, Hannah Rosin described the new The Washington Post investigation as close "to calling the UVA gang rape story a fabrication". Fraternity officials also noted that, prior to the Rolling Stone story, there had never been a criminal investigation or allegation of sexual assault against an undergraduate member of the chapter. UVA President Teresa Sullivan still has her job, even though she prematurely punished the entire Greek system at the university in the wake of the article. If this allegation alone hadn't triggered an all-out scramble at Rolling Stone for more corroboration, nothing would have. [60] In the aftermath of the collapse of the story, Dana noted: "Right now, we're picking up the pieces. Had they done so, of course, they might have realized that some of the names in the account didn't exist, and that there was no party at all at the Phi Psi house on the night Miss Coakley claimed to have been assaulted at, she claimed, a party.Rolling Stone ran the story anyway, to their journalistic and financial detriment. This causes a hostile reaction from Monahan, and the conversation ends shortly after. ", to become a weapon of revenge. She was then connected to the good folks at Rolling Stone magazine, which ignored all journalistic standards by publishing the account calling her just "Jackie" to protect her identity, mind you without doing a shred of research to validate any of the facts of the story. UVA never punished her for lying, and she faced no legal consequences. "A Rape on Campus" is a retracted, defamatory Rolling Stone magazine article[2][3][4] written by Sabrina Erdely and originally published on November 19, 2014, that describes a purported group sexual assault at the University of Virginia (UVA) in Charlottesville, Virginia. All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience. Monahan, meanwhile, displays stalker-likebehavior and makes heavy use of almost every brand of profanity. [116], Rolling Stone fully retracted "A Rape on Campus" and removed the article from its website. "[89] Writing in Politico two days after the "story fell apart", Julia Horowitz, deputy editor of the university's campus newspaper, described the feeling among students: "The campusrelatively oversaturated with emotion after a semester of significant traumafeels as if it is on stand-by, poised in anticipation of where the next torrent of news will take us. The story was heart-breaking, but ultimately appears to be proved untrue. Her claims turned out to be false, made in an attempt to get a male student's affections (it didn't work). [15] Rolling Stone ran the story anyway, to their journalistic and financial detriment. [16][19], Within hours of the article's publication, UVA president Teresa Sullivan had called the governor's chief of staff and the Charlottesville police chief to start preparing a response.
