"[76] Merlan had also labeled journalist Richard Bradley's doubts about the article a "giant ball of shit". And no one, from a university president on down, or on up, gets the notion that due process for the accused is actually a core principle of our justice system, to be applied before punishment is meted out. Had they done so, of course, they might have realized that some of the names in the account didn't exist, and that there was no party at all at the Phi Psi house on the night Miss Coakley claimed to have been assaulted at, she claimed, a party.Rolling Stone ran the story anyway, to their journalistic and financial detriment. The first settlement the magazine had to pay was to former UVA dean Nicole Eramo, who was portrayed as the chief villain in the story and as someone who was callous and indifferent to rape accusations from students. A number of commentators accused the magazine of setting rape victims "back decades", while The Washington Post described the Rolling Stone story as a "catastrophe for journalism". The Columbia Journalism Review called the story "this year's media-fail sweepstakes" and the Poynter Institute named it as the "Error of the Year" in journalism. UVA President Teresa Sullivan acknowledged that the story was discredited. Why has the name changed since then?. A woman named Jackie Coakley, who was a student at UVa at the time, had an issue with a boy who was not paying her enough attention, or didn't see her as a romantic interest, or something like that. ET Jackie Coakley gained infamy as the accuser at the center of a Rolling Stone story about rape at the University of Virginia that turned out to be fake, and now Coakley is under pressure from a Virginia court to reveal what she said to a reporter about the allegations. How honest are the intentions of Cosby's accusers? The failure encompassed reporting, editing, editorial supervision and fact-checking. But, just as in the Duke Lacrosse case, many of the people who enabled the false accusation and unfairly deemed the fraternity as guilty from the start were unharmed by the article. the original story was told by a young woman named jackie coakley identified only as "jackie" in the article who said she was taken on a date by a handsome member of the phi kappa psi. [64] The Columbia Journalism Review called the apology "a grudging act of contrition". As a result, our fraternity was vandalized, our members ostracized based on false information. They have also lived in Newport, RI and Stafford, VA. Erdely said that Jackie regained consciousness alone in the fraternity after 3 a.m. and fled the building blood-spattered and bruised, phoning three friends for help. Erdely wrote that Randall was no longer friends with Jackie and, "citing his loyalty to his own frat, declined to be interviewed". Irresponsible journalism unjustly damaged the reputations of many innocent individuals and the University of Virginia. In response to those revelations, Jackie's father declared that Phi Kappa Psi had been misidentified and the attack had occurred at a different fraternity, though he did not elaborate as to which one. "[144], The North American Interfraternity Conference and the National Panhellenic Council, meanwhile, announced that they had retained the services of Squire Patton Boggs to lobby the U.S. Congress to take action to ensure that Greek-letter organizations are protected from future accusations of the kind leveled in Erdely's article. [39] [67], On October 24, 2016, in a video deposition, Jackie said, "I stand by the account I gave Rolling Stone. "[16] [22][23] A few days later, President Sullivan suspended all Greek organizations until January 9, 2015. Duffin consistently funnels information about Monahan to Jackie, who in turn acts as though she is disturbed and put off by Monahans romantic interest. Quoting its legal consultant Mark Eiglarsh, the network reported that if Jackie "allegedly lied and that perpetrator suffered injury as a result, she could be sued for damages". The story portrayed University staff members as manipulative and callous toward victims of sexual assault. Thats right, Rolling Stone is only now able to put this travesty behind them at least legally.

[65], Spokesmen for both Wenner[66] and Dana said that Erdely would continue to write articles for Rolling Stone. "[125][126], Phi Kappa Psi's national headquarters released the following statement: "That Rolling Stone sought to turn fiction into fact is shamefulThe discredited article has done significant damage to the ability of the chapter's members to succeed in their educational pursuits and besmirched the character of undergraduate students at the University of Virginia who did not deserve the spotlight of the media." [43] However, media investigations have determined that no student named "Haven Monahan" has attended the University of Virginia;[44] the portrait of "Haven Monahan" is an image of a classmate of Jackie's in high school, who has never attended the University of Virginia;[45] the three telephone numbers through which "Haven Monahan" contacted Jackie's friends are registered "internet telephone numbers" that "enable the user to make calls or send SMS text messages to telephones from a computer or iPad while creating the appearance that they are coming from a real phone"[46] and love letters written by Jackie and forwarded by "Haven Monahan" to Ryan Duffin are largely plagiarized from scripts of the TV series Dawson's Creek and Scrubs. [133] Erdely furthermore reported that Office for Civil Rights Assistant Secretary Catherine E. Lhamon called Grove's statements at the meeting (as misreported by Erdely) "deliberate and irresponsible". One student protester told The Cavalier Daily: "I really hope the University takes this article and the protest movement as a sign that they need to be more transparent about the way they deal with sexual assault. [41], The article uses the pseudonym "Drew" to refer to a third-year student at the University of Virginia who takes Jackie to the fraternity party where the alleged rape takes place. "[129] Phi Kappa Psi members received death threats and the president of the university postponed all events related to its fraternities and sororities until mid-January 2015. She said: "I think we've gone backwards 30 years. Oh, the earth spun a little slower, or faster metaphors fail me when it comes to stuff like this.At any rate, you surely remember. Those who were wronged by the article have received compensation for their suffering, but only Rolling Stone has been punished for its role in the fake story. "[51] According to news articles covering lawsuits resulting from the Rolling Stone article, Jackie concocted the Haven Monahan persona in a catfishing scheme directed at Duffin, who had not responded to romantic overtures that Jackie had directed at him. rape accuser's friends begin to doubt story Washington Times", "Friends' accounts differ significantly from victim in UVA rape story", "Lawyers in Rolling Stone lawsuit acknowledge 'Jackie' has ties to fake persona", "Police find no evidence of alleged sexual assault at U-Va. fraternity, "These Surreal "Catfishing" Texts May Have Prompted The UVA Rape Scandal", "Rolling Stone Article on Rape at University of Virginia Failed All Basics, Report Says", "Rolling Stone Deputy Editor Tendered Resignation; Wenner Declines", "Rolling Stone Tries to Regroup After Campus Rape Article Is Disputed", "Jury finds reporter, Rolling Stone responsible for defaming U-Va. dean with gang rape story", "Statement from Writer of Rolling Stone Article Sabrina Erdely", "Rolling Stone Retracts UVA Fraternity Rape Story, Pundits React US News", "Rolling Stone fails to take full responsibility for its actions", "Major 'failures' found in Rolling Stone's 'A Rape on Campus', "Probe of Now-Discredited Rolling Stone Article Didn't Find Fireable Error", "Rolling Stone magazine "Jackie" recording released", "Hey, Feminist Internet Collective: Good Reporting Does Not Have To Be Sensitive", "Rush After 'A Rape On Campus': A UVA Alum Goes Back to Rugby Road", "Why Didn't Sabrina Rubin Erdely Write about Vanderbilt?

The two sides settled in April 2017 for an undisclosed amount. In addition, several windows were broken with bottles and cinder blocks, and police officials said that the group received "disparaging messages" on social media. [31][32] Erdely defended her decision not to interview the accused by saying that the contact page on the fraternity's website "was pretty outdated". The poster featured an image of Lena Dunham, whose own allegations of rape had recently come under scrutiny, and included a sidebar reference to "A Rape on Campus" that read "Our UVA Rape Apology: Ooops, we did it AGAIN!!! The Daily Caller | 1775 Eye Street NW | Suite 1150-290 | Washington, DC 20006, the possession of Virginia news outlet WTVR News, a month-long correspondence between Duffin and Monahan,, At one point, Monahan claims that Coakley suffers from lupus and is frequently hospitalized, which is how he claimed to have met her. "[120], Rolling Stone announced that Will Dana would leave his job at the magazine, effective August 7, 2015. "[42] Jackie forwarded messages from "Monahan", and "Monahan" exchanged messages with Jackie's friends, including sending a picture of "himself" directly to Ryan Duffin. A year ago we told you about a Sacred Heart University student who was charged with falsely reporting an incident and "tampering with or fabricating physical evidence". One friend, Ryan Duffin (called "Randall" in the Rolling Stone article), told The Washington Post that he had never spoken to any reporter from Rolling Stone, although Erdely had claimed him as a source to corroborate the accuser's story. The Post did report, however, that Jackie appeared distraught after the rape allegedly took place. The best result we found for your search is Jacqueline Rose Coakley age 20s in Colchester, CT. In a strange bit of irony, the last thing she ever tweeted was a reply to ProPublica reporter Pamela Colloff about correcting a tweet to label Erdely as a journalist, instead of simply a woman.. Therefore, the criminal investigation was suspended on March 23. that equally phony-baloney accusers like Jackie Coakley McGovern are hauled into court and toted off to prison, lest rape accusations equate to a cry of "Wolf!

For the first time since 2002, applications to the university dropped. It has since been reported that Jackie may have invented portions of the story in an unsuccessful attempt to win the affections of a fellow student in whom she had a romantic interest. Rolling Stone was hardly innocent, but this whole episode cost them whatever reputation remained.All of this, we might point out, happened only because a petulant, amoral female student wanted attention, and because the climate against sexual assault has risen to where the assumption is of guilt rather than innocence. So if I can just ask a question, then Why did you tell us before the date ever happened that his name was Haven?, Duffin asks. "[89] Writing in Politico two days after the "story fell apart", Julia Horowitz, deputy editor of the university's campus newspaper, described the feeling among students: "The campusrelatively oversaturated with emotion after a semester of significant traumafeels as if it is on stand-by, poised in anticipation of where the next torrent of news will take us.
