‘Jackie’ of Rolling Stone’s discredited rape story testifies under oath

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) —The woman whose explosive allegations about a gang rape at the University of Virginia served as the centerpiece of a discredited Rolling Stone story has testified under oath for the first time.

Her testimony was immediately sealed.

A Virginia judge ruled earlier this week that the woman identified publicly only as “Jackie” must take part in a deposition as part of a defamation lawsuit against the magazine filed by Nicole Eramo, an associate dean of students at UVA.

Attorneys for Eramo claim that Rolling Stone’s “recklessness” led to her portrayal “as a callous administrator who discouraged Jackie from reporting an assault to police.” Eramo is seeking $7.85 million in damages.
