Report: UVA officials knew of rape report before Rolling Stone-
Much of the scrutiny on the
Rolling Stone story about the University of Virginia has focused on the account of a young woman known as “Jackie,” what she told whom when about an alleged gang rape, and how the magazine did or didn’t verify the facts around it. But the apparent institutional indifference to following up on such an allegation, a core part of the same article, has not been disputed, and has now been corroborated by an account in a local newspaper.
The Daily Progress in Charlottesville
reports, citing an unnamed “participant” in the meetings in question, that “University of Virginia officials knew in mid-September about allegations of a sexual attack at a school fraternity yet by their own account did not request a police investigation until after a
Rolling Stone story launched a firestorm more than two months later.”
