New evidence shows that a University of Virginia student who alleged that she was gang raped at a campus fraternity created the fake persona of the alleged ringleader of the attack, according to lawyers representing a U-Va. official who is suing Rolling Stone magazine for defamation.

Rolling Stone should of went to Baylor instead of UVa.

catfishing = lure (someone) into a relationship by means of a fictional online persona.

So was Ryan Duffin considering dating Jackie who was a liar and claims to have been raped (false)? What is wrong with these people?

and how is this a defense for Rolling Stone printing these lies?

RS needs to be sued out of existence.

Yes, they could have gotten a real story out of Baylor; perhaps it is easier to write fiction.

Good question.
Seems like Rolling Stone is trying to claim that the magazine was victimized, too, by Jackie’s fabrications, and thus minimize its own culpability.
