The woman known as Jackie who shocked the world with her lurid tale of being gang-raped at a University of Virginia fraternity party doesn't want to answer any more questions as part of a lawsuit.
Filed by U.Va.'s associate dean of students, Nicole Eramo, the lawsuit alleges Rolling Stone Magazine, which published the false rape story, defamed her when it accused her of being cruel to sexual assault accusers. In late January, a judge ordered Jackie to turn over any and all communications between her and Eramo, as well as between her and the author of the article, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, that related to her accusation.
A judge has given Eramo's attorneys seven hours to depose Jackie, but because of the sheer volume of communications between her and Erdely, and the fact that Eramo would have to share the time with Rolling Stone's attorneys, the U.Va. dean is asking for another three hours. Naturally, Jackie and her attorney don't want to talk anymore, and Jackie especially doesn't want to talk about her rape claims.
Jackie wants mention of her sexual assault claims excluded from the deposition. Eramo's lawyers have said that would be fine — if Jackie admits she lied about the gang rape. Evidence uncovered after the Rolling Stone article was published, as well as a statement from local police, proved that the accusation described in the article could not have happened.
Jackie's lawyer maintains in a motion to quash the deposition subpoena that the woman who was proven to have lied to Rolling Stone and the world is, in fact, a "sexual assault victim," and therefore entitled to compassion. They say each of Eramo's requests are a "negative attack" on Jackie, which demonstrate "a complete lack of compassion for" her.
The attorney also claims Eramo wants to "use the deposition as a weapon to inflict as much harm on [Jackie] as possible, with utter disregard for the significant and undeniable psychological harm that will result and without regard to the actual asserted claims in the case." Jackie and her attorney also claimed that she will "suffer if forced to answer questions about the trauma she suffered and the aftermath" of her accusation.
Sorry, but Jackie's feelings don't matter any more. She made false accusations and created a false narrative that seriously harmed many innocent people. Also, as K.C. Johnson (author of the book on the Duke Lacrosse rape hoax) noted on Twitter: "Can 'trauma' result from an assault that never occurred?"
