1st Lawsuit Filed Against Rolling Stone For Retracted Article

A retracted Rolling Stone magazine article that portrayed the University of Virginia as more concerned about its reputation than a student’s tale of a gang rape has prompted the first of two expected lawsuits. Calling the story a "monumental hoax," attorneys for a U.Va. administrator sued the magazine Tuesday in a legal claim seeking $7.5 million. As the top U.Va. official dealing with sexual assaults at the Charlottesville school, Nicole Eramo’s lawsuit says she was cast as the "chief villain" in the discredited and debunked piece.
