Police Find Lack of Evidence in UVA Gang Rape Case

HeadlineMar 24, 2015

Police in Charlottesville, Virginia, say an investigation into an alleged gang rape at a fraternity reported by Rolling Stone magazine has failed to uncover evidence of a crime. Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said the outcome “doesn’t mean that something terrible didn’t happen to [the victim] Jackie.” Rolling Stone has acknowledged discrepancies in details described by Jackie, who did not participate in the police investigation. When the article came out, UVA was already under federal investigation for its handling of sexual assault, along with a growing list which now includes more than 90 other schools.
