Hope they get everything down to the last Yoko Ono archival negative.
UVa grads sue Rolling Stone over retracted campus rape story
Three University of Virginia graduates and members of a fraternity who were portrayed in a debunked account of a gang rape in a retracted Rolling Stone magazine story filed a lawsuit against the publication and the article’s author, court records show.

The three men, George Elias IV, Stephen Hadford and Ross Fowler, filed suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in New York. They are also suing Rolling Stone’s publisher, Wenner Media.

A lawyer for the men said they suffered “vicious and hurtful attacks” because of inaccuracies in the November 2014 article, which was written by journalist Sabrina Rubin Erdely.

Separately, Wenner Media said in a news release that Will Dana, Rolling Stone’s managing editor, will be leaving the magazine next month. The release said that after 19 years at Rolling Stone, Dana has “has decided he is ready for a change and a new challenge.”

    It's not rape if it's not rape. Your own friends say you were bragging about it. Go ahead and lynch the frat cockus though, RacistBannon.

    Anyone know the statute of limitations for frat party 'rape' in the State of Washington?

    Maybe in Idaho, Oregon and British Columbia, too.

    Asking for a fren.

    I had no idea that Keith Richards and Mick Jagger wrote stories on the side.

    If it helps, I'm hearing the first 6 inches are consensual.

    Regardless of this story I'd be careful assessing the behavior of someone after a rape. It's a really weird crime and women tend to react in ways you wouldn't expect.

    Ignore this if your frat is Jewish. Not really relevant.
