UVa Fraternity Falsely Accused of Rape Sues Rolling Stone for $25 Million

From Breitbart's Big Journalism:

The University of Virginia fraternity at the center of a discredited Rolling Stone article that alleged members of the frat house gang-raped a freshman during a party has filed a $25 million defamation lawsuit against the magazine.

In the lawsuit, the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity accused Rolling Stone and writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely of “intentional, reckless and unethical behavior” for publishing the 9,000-word article “A Rape on Campus” in its November 2014 issue. The story alleged members of Phi Kappa Psi violently gang-raped a freshman, identified in the story only as “Jackie,” during a party at the fraternity house in September of 2012.

“Rolling Stone published the article with reckless disregard for the truth,” the lawsuit said.

Two independent investigations by the Columbia School of Journalism and the Charlottesville Police Department later found numerous problems with the magazine’s story, including that no gang rape appeared to have happened at the fraternity on the evening in question. Rolling Stone was forced to retract its story, and managing editor Will Dana resigned as a result of the scandal.

It's about time, I hope the win, big!
