Charlottesville Police Department officials have told the University of Virginia that there was no substantive basis for the gang-rape allegations lodged against a fraternity in a November Rolling Stone article.

The police began investigating the claim that a freshman U.Va. student was gang-raped by seven men (or five men, or forced to perform oral sex on five men) immediately following an explosive article in Rolling Stone that has since been discredited.
