HONESTLY, THIS CRIMINAL HOAXER SHOULD BE FACING JAIL: Judge rules ‘Jackie’ doesn’t have to turn over any more communications.
“Jackie,” the woman whose fake gang-rape accusation made it to the pages of Rolling Stone Magazine, does not have to turn over additional communications, a judge ruled.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Joel C. Hoppe ruled Tuesday that Jackie’s lawyers “exhausted all known areas of inquiry for responsive communications currently in Jackie’s possession.”
Jackie had claimed that she was gang-raped as part of a fraternity initiation at the University of Virginia. She also claimed that the dean responsible for investigating her claim, Nicole Eramo, was indifferent to her accusation and tried to sweep it under the rug to protect the school’s reputation.
Eramo is suing Rolling Stone for defamation, arguing that the magazine knew Jackie was an unreliable source but published her story anyway. Eramo’s lawyers have argued (and evidence has shown) that Jackie invented the man she claimed she had a date with the night of the alleged incident and who orchestrated the gang-rape. A few weeks ago, Jackie’s lawyers tacitly admitted as much.
