The details of the alleged gang rape student Jackie suffered while at a Phi Kappa Psi frat party at the University of Virginia keep getting stranger. Jackie may have likely created the attacker who for the story she told to Rolling Stone, which eventually retracted their December 2014 story in April 2015.
The magazine has been sued by several parties, including Dean Nicole Eramo. Lawyers for Eramo have presented evidence showing that an email account for Monahan was created on October 2, 2012, after the alleged attack, The Washington Examiner reported.
Jackie spoke often of a “Haven Monahan,” but Charlottesville police concluded that no one by that name had ever attended the university. The person in the picture Jackie sent around claiming to be Monahan turned out to be a high school classmate who didn’t live nearby, hadn’t been in the area in years, and barely knew Jackie.
Text messages Jackie’s friends received came from ever-changing numbers claiming to Monahan’s, and were liked to a service that allows users to use fake numbers when sending messages.
Erno’s lawyers note that Jackie is “a serial liar who invented” her story about being gang-raped as part of an initiation. They have also come to “only one logical conclusion: Jackie is ‘Haven Monahan.’” And, “court filings also indicate that Jackie and her attorneys have not complied with a court order to turn over all relevant materials in her possession.”
Jackie may be “a serial liar,” but a not very good one. Police determined there was not enough evidence,to suggest the attack took place, especially since there was no party that night, and the fraternity holds their pledging activities in the spring, rather than the fall when the attack was said to have taken place. Still, her account has resulted in many suffered reputations.
