It was 1 a.m. on a Saturday when the call came. A friend, a University of Virginia freshman who earlier said she had a date that evening with a handsome junior from her chemistry class, was in hysterics. Something bad had happened.
Arriving at her side, three students —“Randall,” “Andy” and “Cindy” as they were identified in an explosive Rolling Stone account — told The Washington Post that they found their friend in tears. Jackie appeared traumatized, saying her date ended horrifically, with the older student parking his car at his fraternity, asking her to come inside, and then forcing her to perform oral sex on a group of five men.
In their first interviews about the events of that September 2012 night, the three friends separately told The Post that their recollections of the encounter diverge from how Rolling Stone portrayed the incident in a story about Jackie’s alleged gang rape at a U-Va. fraternity. The interviews also provide a richer account of Jackie’s interactions immediately after the alleged attack, and suggest that the friends are skeptical of her account.
The scene with her friends was pivotal in the article, as it alleged that the friends were callously apathetic about a beaten, bloodied, injured classmate reporting a brutal gang rape at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. The account alleged that the students worried about the effect it might have on their social status, how it might reflect on Jackie during the rest of her collegiate career, and how they suggested not reporting it. It set up the article’s theme: That U-Va. has a culture that is indifferent to rape.
“It didn’t happen that way at all,” Andy said.

I’d have been more inclined to believe this story in the Weekly World News than Rolling Stone to begin with.

This sounds vaguely familiar. Wasn’t there a false rape accusation and attempted frame-up at another ACC school a few years back?
Why, yes. Yes, there was.

Comments and analysis about the Duke/Nifong case (2006-2014).
I'd have been more inclined to believe it if it came out in the National Enquirer.
It reads here like Jackie believed something really bad happened to her — but it could not have been according to the story she told. And the fraternity brothers sympathized with her about it.
Munchhausen?
It’s stretching things according to a liberal meme to assert the fraternity brothers did not care. That is an ignorant assertion — they are not monsters out of some lone abyss, they have sisters and girlfriends.
It all depends on what the meaning of is is.
The one on the left continues to breathe. The one on the right died this past Friday, and so did her mom.

This thing is unraveling faster than a cheaply made scarf.
Holy cow.
This chick needs serious help.
Let's hope it comes in time. Crystal Mangum, the erstwhile heroine of The Duke Lacrosse Frame, had to kill someone before any serious action was taken.
She sure does. I’m hoping that her family actually gets her help, instead of believing the garbage she’s been spewing.
"Assessing The Contribution Of Feminist-Activist Emotional Irrationality In Penis Envy As A Catalyst For Pseudo-Victimizational Sexual Assault Fantasy."
Then, basically, just copy-paste the final detective report into the document and reference Rolling Stone magazine, ibid, in the footnotes.
Bet I could whip that out in a week. BOOM. Instant Doctorate!
I think uva should make you dean of men’s studies
The more I read of this story, the more I think that Jackie is mentally disturbed. She is absolutely loony tunes...or else just a criminal. I can’t decide whether or not I feel sorry for her. I know we’re supposed to be compassionate towards those with mental illnesses, but once a person starts committing crime (like people who claim to have cancer, but don’t) it becomes harder for me to stay compassionate. I detest lies above all else.
The social justice activist in the U.VA case appears to have constructed a gang of fantasy sexual predators. She's masquerading as a victim. Never mind that, say her supporters: What's important is the issue of campus rape.
Meanwhile, we can point to another celebrity false accuser in the Duke LaCrosse travesty and can even identify a man that she ended up murdering. Never mind that, say her supporters: What's important is the issue of 'white privilege'.
The Rape Culture is strong at UVA.
Send your kid to another school where they have a weaker rape culture.
BYU or SMU, I guess.
