Have you read the WaPo article? I can't imagine they haven't tried to locate and get the "victim's" story.

We do not know at this time whether the entire story was fabricated. Those facts will be determined as investigations progress. Clearly, RS did not meet the standards for responsible, professional journalism.

Clearly not. But really, these were important (false) facts which could ONLY have come from the victim. She's either stupid or a liar... and well... UVA doesn't take folks with subpar SATs.

We also do not know how "Jackie" was interviewed and to what degree the reporter manipulated questions to obtain desired responses.

Since the "victim" has appeared in public as an activist, we can assume she read the article. If she didn't have any major corrections, we can safely conclude she was at least complicit in the falsehood if not directly responsible (which is more likely).
This lady was apparently willing to shut down an entire fraternity chapter and possibly, if some innocent guy had been a lifeguard at some point, ended up sending an innocent man to prison and having him spend his life labeled a sex offender.
