What do we know about Jacki?
1) She not only made up her attacker’s persona as a composite of a set of high school crushes, she actually assumed and inhabited the identity and texted with her ‘friends’ (a.k.a. catfishing) from the fake identity -— all in the futile attempt to catch and hijack the romantic attention of the unwitting boy she’d set her sights on.
2) Jacki’s rape counselor, Emily Renda, gave testimony before the US Senate using, in part, Jacki’s fake story. That testimony likely impacted the promulgating of Federal Title IX policies which in turn are being used to ambush male students in kangaroo hearings at many schools. see for one example, Washington and Lee, where charges were accelerated once the Rolling Stone article came out (but before it was disproven). By the way, Emily Renda also claims to have been raped and later taunted and assaulted by fellow UVA students for “speaking out” in a highly improbable story.
3)Jacki is just one point of presence for this phenomena. UVA College President Sullivan, in her first statements on the Jacki matter (before it was discredited) mentioned a UVA transfer student who had been raped — turns out that is also a false charge - the story is here: Silicon Valley Adventuress Plays the Rape Card at Stanford and UVA http://www.unz.com/isteve/silicon-valley-adventuress-plays-the-rape-card-at-stanford-and-uva/
4) In many of the stories about UVA a high-profile charge at Columbia University was described — now proven to be yet another false charge.
So - there is an epidemic under way at college campuses — just not the epidemic it was set out to be.
