CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A young woman at the center of a debunked article in Rolling Stone magazine about a campus gang rape at the University of Virginia has been ordered to turn over documents.
A federal judge made the ruling as part of a defamation lawsuit filed by a top U.Va. administrator. Nicole Eramo’s lawsuit said she was cast as the “chief villain” in the article.
The article was about a student identified only as “Jackie” who claimed she was raped by seven men in a fraternity initiation.
Media outlets report the judge ordered her to hand over communication documents pertaining to the article and her alleged sexual assault.
