[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. ", to become a weapon of revenge. The Washington Times determined "Drew"'s "telephone" and "Blackberry" numbers were in fact "Internet phone 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". Teresa Sullivan, the president of UVa, promptly shut down all the fraternities and, bizarrely, the sororities as well (don't ask), in a "ready, fire, aim" response, without allowing even the Phi Psis the due process to point out all the inaccuracies that made the article suspect. After the date, they allegedly went to a party at his fraternity house, where he brought her to a dark bedroom upstairs and "a heavy person jumps on top of her. Jackie Coakley Cashier at ULTA Beauty . Her claims turned out to be false, made in an attempt to get a male student's affections (it didn't work). The Charlottesville Police Department investigation confirms that far from being callous, our staff members are diligent and devoted in supporting and caring for students. 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. In January, Eramos lawyers successfully forced Coakley to turn over text messages, emails and other communications pertaining to the case. [168], A further lawsuit by a number of members of the fraternity was greenlighted by a court of appeals on September 19, 2017, after originally being dismissed by a lower court in June 2016. Flanagan noted that "what Rolling Stone has pushed me into is that I have now become someone who is on the side of fraternities and defending fraternities. [citation needed]. [email protected] Eramo was awarded $3 million by a jury who concluded that Rolling Stone defamed her with actual malice,[10] and Rolling Stone settled the lawsuit with the fraternity for $1.65 million. [15], Jackie's academic performance reportedly declined, and she became socially withdrawn due to emotional distress. [116] The report also states that the article misled readers with quotes where attribution was unclear and used pseudonyms inappropriately as a way to address these shortcomings. There's some reporting on the university's culture, which shouldn't be taken seriously in light of the fraud exposed by the police; there's some reporting on the university leadership's approach to the issue, which shouldn't be taken seriously in light of the fraud exposed by the police. 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. [116], The report concluded, "Rolling Stone's repudiation of the main narrative in "A Rape on Campus" is a story of journalistic failure that was avoidable. The collateral damage included a UVa dean, as well as the entire Greek system there and, well, no one thinks a lot of Teresa Sullivan anymore either. At the party, Jackie alleged in the article, her date led her to a bedroom where she was gang raped by several fraternity members as part of a fraternity initiation ritual. [24], UVA's student newspaper The Cavalier Daily described mixed reactions from the student body, stating: "For some, the piece is an unfounded attack on our school; for others, it is a recognition of a harsh reality; and for what I suspect is a large majority of us, it falls somewhere in between. The two sides settled in April 2017 for an undisclosed amount. The story portrayed University staff members as manipulative and callous toward victims of sexual assault. I offer our community's genuine gratitude for their devotion and perseverance in their service. 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! Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo explained, "We would've loved to have had Jackie come in and tell us what happened so we can obtain justice even if the facts were different. Erdely wrote that Randall was no longer friends with Jackie and, "citing his loyalty to his own frat, declined to be interviewed". She decided to get the attention she wanted, by making up a completely baseless story about having been gang-raped at a fraternity house, Phi Kappa Psi (colloquially referred to as Phi Psi). "[78], On December 6, The Washington Post's media critic Erik Wemple called for all Rolling Stone staff who were involved with the story to be fired. Well, she is married and is now "Jackie McGovern", living her life, la-la-la, scot-free. [60] In the aftermath of the collapse of the story, Dana noted: "Right now, we're picking up the pieces. Font Size: New evidence submitted in an ongoing lawsuit against Rolling Stone suggest that the legal team of Jackie Coakley, the University of Virginia (UVA) student responsible for a massive gang rape hoax, has been withholding evidence from an ongoing lawsuit. Along with the bizarre Haven Monahan text messages, WTVR also released text messages between Duffin and Coakley following the release of Rolling Stones article. No one supplied evidence to corroborate Jackie's accusations of a gang rape happening or that the accused rapist, supposedly named "Drew" or "Haven Monahan", even existed. Prior to the alleged event, Jackie provided evidence of her relationship with "Drew" to her friends by supplying a phone number for "Drew", with whom Jackie's friends subsequently exchanged messages.

After the Charlottesville Police made their official report, Wemple said: "What is left of the Rolling Stone piece? Monahan has a small meltdown after saying he hasnt been able to find Coakley for several days, and says he is about to call the police, a course of action Duffin discourages. By December 5, 2014, Christopher Pivik, a former member of Phi Kappa Psi at the University of Virginia, had retained attorney Andrew Miltenberg. ", "Rolling Stone publisher: U.Va. The failure encompassed reporting, editing, editorial supervision and fact-checking. Forward it to your friends! On April 5, 2015, Rolling Stone retracted the article and published the independent report on the publication's history.[1]. They went on to call for Rolling Stone to "fully and unconditionally retract its story and immediately remove the story from its website". [36], The Washington Post reporters later interviewed the accuser at the center of Erdely's story and two of the friends that Rolling Stone said she had met on the night of the incident. I have no assumption to make, as to whether she has not been sued because she is a shallow pocket, incapable of affording a large settlement in a civil suit. 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. UVA President Teresa Sullivan still has her job, even though she prematurely punished the entire Greek system at the university in the wake of the article. Writing in Slate, Hannah Rosin described the new The Washington Post investigation as close "to calling the UVA gang rape story a fabrication". 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. [52][53][54], Initially, Erdely stood by her story, stating: "I am convinced that it could not have been done any other way, or any better. "[115] Virginia sorority members called the restrictions "unnecessary and patronizing".

Select this result to view Jackie L Coakley's phone number, address, and more. Jackie's friends Cindy, Andy, and Randall had become suspicious as to whether Jackie's date to the fraternity party where she was allegedly raped was a real person. In fact, Jackie made him up in an elaborate attempt to win the affections of another student. She has previously worked for Watchdog.org, the Washington Examiner, and the Heritage Foundation. On November 19, 2014, Rolling Stone published the now retracted article by Sabrina Erdely titled "A Rape on Campus" about an alleged gang rape of a University of Virginia (UVA) student, Jackie Coakley. Jackie Coakley can't hide her secrets any longer. Many in the media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband until that story unwound. [156], On May 12, 2015, UVA associate dean Nicole Eramo, chief administrator for handling sexual assault issues at the school, filed a $7.5 million defamation lawsuit in Charlottesville Circuit Court against Rolling Stone and Erdely, claiming damage to her reputation and emotional distress. 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. Jacqueline Coakley in Virginia We found 3 records for Jacqueline Coakley in Woodbridge, Colchester and Glade Spring. [155], Additionally, the Poynter Institute named the story as the "Error of the Year" in journalism. The police were also unable to corroborate Jackie's allegations that two other sexual assaults had taken place at the fraternity house or that she had been assaulted and struck to the face with a bottle in a separate incident. 3. 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. [27] Community members offered suggestions for immediate steps administration could take to implement preventive measures and address safety concerns regarding sexual assault. Students at the University of Virginia expressed "bewilderment and anger" following Rolling Stone's apology for its story, with one female student declaring "Rolling Stone threw a bomb at us." [16][19], Within hours of the article's publication, UVA president Teresa Sullivan had called the governor's chief of staff and the Charlottesville police chief to start preparing a response. Where, we ask, are the Federal cops? [25] A few hours after the incident, several news groups received an anonymous letter claiming responsibility for the vandalism and demanding that the university implement harsher consequences for sexual assault (mandatory expulsion), conduct a review of all fraternities on campus, the resignation of Nicole Eramo, and the implementation of harm reduction policies at fraternity parties. 2160250.

Sullivan said: "I was plainly not prepared for what the story looked like. In the Columbia Journalism Review, Bill Grueskin called the story "a messthinly sourced, full of erroneous assumptions, and plagued by gaping holes in the reporting". Ashe Short is a senior editor at The Daily Wire, where she writes about campus issues. [82] Christina Hoff Sommers, being interviewed by John Stossel for Reason, commented that the story "proved to be a sort of gothic fantasy, a male-demonizing fantasy. Some students "actually had to leave the room while they were reading [the article] because they were so upset." Jacqueline has 3 jobs listed on their profile. Jackie's friends in the story have provided evidence since then that the man Rolling Stone calls "Drew" was electronically introduced to them as "Haven Monahan. I have argued in these pages that the FBI needs to go hard against the Clinton Foundation for just that reason, lest the next powerful person or couple use a phony-baloney charitable entity to disguise an influence-peddling scam.Given the anti-violence, anti-rape climate we are in, it is imperative 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! [17] In Rolling Stone's version, Jackie's friends discouraged her from going to the hospital to protect her reputation and because Andy and Randall planned to rush fraternities and worried their association with Jackie might hurt their chances if she reported it. Rolling Stone falsely accused some University of Virginia students of heinous, criminal acts, and falsely depicted others as indifferent to the suffering of their classmate. I have argued in these pages that the FBI needs to go hard against the Clinton Foundation for just that reason, lest the next powerful person or couple use a phony-baloney charitable entity to disguise an influence-peddling scam. 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.. [169] The lawsuit was settled on December 21, 2017. "[62], Erdely publicly apologized for the article on April 5, 2015,[63] though her apology did not include any mention of the fraternity, or the members of the fraternity who were accused. Initially, Duffin pretends to be a girl named Brianna, having been told by Coakley to correspond with Monahan to find out if he liked her.
