According to NBC News, a judge has rejected Rolling Stones request to throw out a defamation case brought by the accused students in the now-debunked University of Virginia rape case.
In a statement made on Thursday, a circuit court judge in Charlottesville, Virginia, held that Rolling Stone magazines article on an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia could reasonably be considered defamatory. This followed a request by the magazines attorney for the court to dismiss the case.

No one has the right to slander and to publically accuse and humiliate an innocent person; without consequences.

Just wonder if the aggrieved students will live long enough to spend any of the money they are due. Rolling Stone will litigate this ad infinitum.

Hopefully, Rolling Stone and the reporter will be sued into bankruptcy. At the least.

This rag should have stayed with it’s winning formula. They should have just reviewed new albums, musicians, concerts, etc. Shouldn’t have gone political and become social justice warriors. I haven’t read it for decades now.

Melania Trump sued the British rag that alleged she was a call girl. They immediately retracted the accusation.
Rolling Stoned is a relic of the Woodstock days that has long outlived its usefulness. I'd love to see it go out in a blaze of infamy.

Hoping RS experiences the same burn.

I’m sure Rolling Stone (and NBC News for that matter) think there should be an exemption for those who commit libel in order to “raise awareness” and “shake Americans out of their complacency.”
