CHARLOTTESVILLE — A federal court jury decided Friday that a Rolling Stone journalist defamed a former University of Virginia associate dean in a 2014 magazine article about sexual assault on campus that included a debunked account of a fraternity gang rape.
The 10 member jury concluded that the Rolling Stone reporter, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, was responsible for defamation, with actual malice, in the case brought by Nicole Eramo, a U-Va. administrator who oversaw sexual violence cases at the time of the article’s publication. The jury also found the magazine and its publisher responsible for defaming Eramo.
The $7.5 million lawsuit centered on Erdely’s 9,000-word article titled “A Rape on Campus.” The article appeared online in late Nov. 2014 and on newsstands in the magazine’s December 2014 issue.

Time to sue the snot outta these LIARS!
Yes!!!
Definitely some feel good news for a Friday afternoon. It’s about time these libatard “journalists” were made to answer for their actions.
I hope they sue the little snot rag out of existence.
And I was a subscriber 1976 - 1980 or so.
I used to read Rolling Stone to find out about bands, concerts, when they would tour and who would replace Mick Taylor in the Stones.
Then they went all political and I hope this law suite wipes them off the planet.
Outstanding!!!
Some justice at last.
Is the journalist liable or The Rolling stone Hillary propaganda magazine?
I did too, years ago. I still have some old copies about musicians I liked.
ha
Would it be wrong to hope that they are bankrupted by a huge award?
Finally, more GOOD NEWS for those obama ass lickers who have that a hole on their cover 50 times.
Both
Yup. Just like what Hogan did to Gawker.
I used to read Rolling Stone to find out about bands, concerts, when they would tour and who would replace Mick Taylor in the Stones.
Then they went all political and I hope this law suite wipes them off the planet.
Fear and loathing and all that.
Now, as I asked on another thread on this subject, when will “Jackie” be outed and held accountable for her lies that sullied the reputations of both individuals and institutions?
oh what a tangled web we weave when first we seek to deceive.
And now time for the fraternity to sue
