Judge orders Rolling Stone rape hoaxer to testify

Published April 5, 2016 8:46pm ET



The University of Virginia student whose fantastical tale of fraternity gang-rape captivated the country until it was exposed as fraudulent will have to testify as part of a lawsuit against the magazine that printed the story.

U.Va.’s “Jackie”* will be deposed for at least three-and-a-half hours by lawyers for Nicole Eramo, the assistant dean of students at the university. Rolling Stone, which printed Jackie’s claims, will also be allowed to depose the former student for three-and-a-half hours.
