Despite lack of evidence, Rolling Stone's Jackie still labeled a rape victim

There’s no evidence to suggest that University of Virginia student “Jackie” — the source of a now-retracted Rolling Stone article about a brutal gang rape — was actually raped, yet she’s still being labeled a victim.

In her apology, RS author Sabrina Rubin Erdely used the phrase “Jackie and her account of her traumatic rape,” as if it was an established fact. This despite the 12,000-word Columbia Journalism School report on how Erdely’s article about Jackie’s alleged rape was completely false.
