Judge Calls for Jackie to Release Documents in Rolling Stone Gang-Rape Story Lawsuit

By Published on January 13, 2016

β€” A federal judge said Tuesday that a young woman who was the central figure in a sensational Rolling Stone story of a gang rape at the University of Virginia will have to turn over documents related to the retracted article as part of a pending defamation lawsuit.

U.S. District Court Chief Judge Glen E. Conrad said in court that he plans to grant most aspects of a motion from lawyers for U-Va. associate dean Nicole Eramo, who is suing Rolling Stone for its depiction of her in a 2014 article about rape at the campus here. The story focused on allegations that a U-Va. student named Jackie was brutally assaulted at a U-Va. fraternity and that U-Va. officials were callous in their handling of the case; the story was later debunked, and Eramo is seeking communications Jackie had with the magazine and others at the time.
