A federal jury yesterday ordered Rolling Stone and one of its writers to pay $3 million in damages to a University of Virginia administrator over a discredited article two years ago about a supposed gang rape at the university.
The damages order came after a Charlottesville, Virginia, jury on Friday found the magazine, its parent company Wenner Media and Sabrina Rubin Erdely, the author of the article, liable for defamation.
The jury on Monday ordered Erdely to pay $2 million of the total and Rolling Stone and Wenner Media to pay $1 million.
In November 2014, Rolling Stone published Erdely's article called "A Rape on Campus." It relied on a single source, identified only as Jackie, in describing a brutal gang rape at a fraternity party.
The administrator who filed the suit, Nicole Eramo, claimed she had been made out to be the "chief villain" in the article. Police in the city found no evidence the gang rape had occurred. Rolling Stone later retracted the article and removed it from its website.
