>Jackie said she was forced to perform oral sex on several men. In her final story, Jackie said a date took her to a party where she was “raped by I think six guys,” who held her over broken glass and put a beer bottle inside her. >The escalating details raised no red flags for Erdely. >“To the contrary, I found this to be entirely consistent with the behavior of a victim of sexual assault or other trauma,” Erdely said in the papers. >“Jackie isn’t credible,” Erdely told her editors — in a 1:54 a.m. email — about her primary source for the story, “We have to issue a retraction.” >“This experience has been devastating to me, both professionally and personally,” Erdely said. >“Never in my 20-plus years as a reporter have I had a story or a source fall apart on me after publication. After feeling so sure about the Article, and believing so strongly that it would help spur change on college campuses, losing faith in the credibility of one of my major sources post publication took me entirely by surprise. I was stunned and shaken by the experience, and remain so to this day.” nydailynews.com/news/national/rolling-stone-writer-uva-rape-story-nightmare-article-1.2698465
Daily reminder that all women have to do is say you think you raped and make it up with a Dawson's Creek story and it will be written in a serious publication.
I wonder if this 'journalist' feels raped by this whole situation.
Isaiah Rogers
Did we ever doc the reporter and/or """"rape victim"""""? I hope both of them are sued and ruined a la Gawker
Aaron Wood
It's almost like you should wait until you have factual evidence and not just hearsay when publishing shit that can irreparably damage someone's reputation
Dumb bitch
Jace Gray
>believing so strongly that it would help spur change on college campuses Free press is a mistake.
Lincoln Gray
This story, along with mattress girl basically killed the campus rape meme.
Matthew Moore
No, you should listen and believe, you fucking bigot
Elijah Ortiz
>publish a story without any evidence >omg wtf how did this go so wrong
>female intellectuals
Cameron Bailey
It's all become a massive joke.
Wasn't Mattress Girl given a Woman of the Year award or some shit recently?

>Never in my 20-plus years as a reporter have I had a story or a source fall apart on me after publication. Really?
>Ralph Cipriano wrote in Newsweek that "Erdely didn't know or bother to find out ... that Billy had already told his story to the archdiocese, police, and a grand jury, and would subsequently retell it to two different juries in two criminal cases. And every time he told his story, the details kept changing."[15] In the first iteration of the rape Billy Doe claimed to have endured, he was knocked unconscious, stripped, tied to a church altar with sashes, and anally raped on the altar for five hours. Subsequent iterations of the rape recounted by Doe were less dramatic; a final version omitted the five-hour altar anal rape. Instead, Billy Doe explained, he had been coerced into engaging in mutual masturbation.[15] Cipriano criticized Erdely for failing to include information on Billy Doe's background that could have impugned his credibility; he had, for instance, been arrested six times, once while trafficking 56 bags of heroin.[16][17] Doe's lawyer Slade McLaughlin, and David Clohessy, head of SNAP, have noted in response that substance abuse is a common reaction to childhood sexual abuse.
>When Erdely was covering the Billy Doe story, her husband was a criminal prosecutor for the District Attorney of Philadelphia, which was overseeing the case. Rolling Stone editors said that it was not a conflict of interest because he was not personally involved in the prosecution.
Seems to me she has a history of this.

>Seems to me she has a history of this.
Women are terrified of and fascinated by rape because they know it's the first thing they would do if they woke up and had a penis.

>it's the first thing they would do
reminds me of that image of the British cunt standing behind a cop in a coffee shop and going "omg guns are so bad BTW I could disarm him and shoot everyone :DDDD"
Camden Davis
GAS THE DYKES RAPE WAR NOW
Jeremiah Bell
The fraternity sued and lost but the Dean is suing her now because she was actually named
Tyler James

Haha good one tyrone

This didn't seem at all fabricated? >female intellectuals
Austin Flores
...
Brayden Thompson
thanks for the rage Charles
William Mitchell
This. And she only feels terrible for herself. Not a mention of the people she was happily accusing of rape
Hudson King
I was in c-ville when this all happened and it was despicable.
Peoplr threw bricks through the window of that frat and spray painted "rapist" on the side.
AND EVEN AFTER it was found to be a false story, the vocal students and the administration pulled the "well it provoked an important discussion anyway" and strong armed all fraternities to sign new charters.
Nothing but beer in cans is allowed to be served at parties anymore.... a long way from Playboy's party school of the year when I was a freshman. It made me realize that despite the rich history it's just another cesspool of liberal academia. I'll never donate or visit as long as Teresa Sullivan is still president

ONE MORE TIME: >help spur change
This is not your fucking job you stupid bitch.
Journalism is not political activism. You're supposed to be holding institutions of power accountable for their actual actions, not act on behalf of an institution you support.
She should never be hired by any publication, ever again.
Jonathan Wright
Yea try and take a street cop's gun from him, then when he tazes your dumbass yoi can sue him for excessive force.
Brody Hall
Woah they're just trying to start a conversation, bigot.
Eli Rodriguez
iirc it's a level 3 retention holster
most likely she'd cop an elbow to the face (or fivehead)
Angel Butler
kek. >srsly this is the first time it happened, could not have seen it coming at all
Leo Parker
when someone was raped and the first thing they do is run off to the media instead the police you ought to wake up and smell the bullshit, to bad these people are dumb as bricks
Parker Murphy
>cassandra stein Is she only half jew or something ?
Nathan Jones
If there's no rape kit you must acquit.
Nicholas Moore
>they lost no they didn't you lying twat.. stop spreading fallacies
Even after the elbow the officer would still pull out his tazer and order her to the ground. Knowing this dumb cunt, she'd refuse and ride the lightning.
Easton Ward
This is photshop'd right ?
Right, guys ?
Joseph Perry
lmao my sister said she wasn't allowed to go frat houses for like 5 months
American universities are literally just overpriced day care centers
