Lawyers representing a University of Virginia student at the center of a debunked gang-rape allegation have acknowledged in court papers that the student has ties to a fake persona she once named as the ringleader of the alleged attack.
Filed in federal court Tuesday, the papers are part of an ongoing lawsuit a U-Va. associate dean filed against Rolling Stone magazine, arguing that the magazine published a defamatory account of how the Charlottesville school handles sexual assaults. The legal team representing Jackie acknowledged that they had recently accessed a Yahoo e-mail account for Haven Monahan, who the U-Va. student alleged had taken her on a date before leading her into a brutal gang rape in September 2012.
Lawyers representing U-Va. associate dean Nicole Eramo have described Monahan as a fictitious U-Va. junior created by Jackie to lure the romantic interest of another student, a practice known as catfishing.

But Eramos lawyers assert that the new evidence finally proves that Jackie created Monahan and his e-mail account as part of an elaborate ruse to lure another U-Va. student into a romantic relationship. In a series of text messages, Jackie wrote to friends at U-Va. that Monahan was a junior in her chemistry class who had invited her on a date. Then one night in September of her freshman year she alleged that Monahan and a group of men sexually assaulted after the date.
In their response, Jackies lawyers wrote that their client is a non-party sexual assault victim, who has no desire to continue to engage in any disputes with Dean Eramo and merely seeks to be left alone.
“a non-party sexual assault victim”????
What is that?
A made up term that still lets her claim to be a victim.
It means she’s not a party involved in the lawsuit. I definitely need a scorecard to follow the players here, and I guess some of the players are imaginary?
Her name is Jackie Coakley. They should stop acting like no one knows.
Maybe she self-identified as a “gender non-specific non-assaulted assault victim and potential felon” and the WP simply ran out of space in the article.
Isn’t whether or not she was a sexual abuse victim a key element of the case? And whether or not her abuser was imaginary or real?
Moreover, if the females who got drunk and screwed men and who later claimed "rape" were prosecuted, we would have women's prisons full of these false accusers.
In their twisted minds, it is fine to ruin a man's life if they pretty please.
