A jury has awarded former University of Virginia dean Nicole Eramo $3 million in damages over the way she was portrayed in a now-retracted article in Rolling Stone.
The article claimed a young woman named “Jackie” was gang-raped at a U.Va. fraternity as part of an initiation, and school administrators, including Eramo, were cold and indifferent to her claim. That accusation turned out to be false, as no party was held the night of the alleged gang rape and the man who allegedly took Jackie on a date and orchestrated the rape didn’t even exist.
