"A Rape on Campus" author Sabrina Rubin Erdely revealed her experience in following the story of Jackie, who was allegedly raped and brutally assaulted by  several members of a fraternity. 

Rolling Stone writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely, who wrote the article titled "A Rape on Campus," that follows a horrific, but fabricated account of a gang rape happened at the University of Virginia, revealed how she found out that there was something amiss in the story that she wrote. Now, the associate dean of student, Nicole Eramo is eager to sue the publication because the magazine portrayed her as uncaring and callous dean.

A 9,000 -word article "A Rape of Campus" was published online on Nov. 19, 2014, which created fear through the Charlottesville campus. Later on, The Washington Post revealed that the Rolling Stone writer sent an email to the magazine editors, Will Dana and Sean Woods, with a subject line, "Our Worst Nightmare," on Dec. 5, 2014. 

Elderly wrote her explanations why she no longer trusted her source to her recipient in the email. The UVA junior Jackie told the publication that she was sexually assaulted by seven men from a fraternity, while the two other men watched her at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house in 2012. 

Erdely spent five months investigating a shocking claim of a gang rape revealed by a student Jackie. The student claimed she has been brutally assaulted by some members of a fraternity. Elderly asked Jackie to help her verify the identity of her assailant, however, her answers were "confusing and contradictory," Huffington Post reported.  

Elderly reached out some of Jackie's friends because she started worrying about her behavior. Even the friends of the alleged victim admitted they doubted her story.

Rolling Stone writer told the court, "I had been completely blindsided. I felt shattered."
