A judge has ruled that a fraternity’s lawsuit against Rolling Stone, filed nearly a year ago, will move forward, denying the magazine’s motion to dismiss the case.
The fraternity, the University of Virginia chapter of Phi Kappa Psi, was accused by the magazine in a now-retracted article of requiring new pledges to take part in a gang rape. A young woman, identified only as “Jackie,” claimed she had been lured to a party at the Phi Psi house by one of its members, who then orchestrated a violent gang-rape against her atop a pile of broken glass.
