$7.8M Rolling Stone defamation trial opens
Opening statements have begun in the defamation trial against Rolling Stone over its now-discredited story about a gang rape at the University of Virginia.
University administrator Nicole Eramo is suing the magazine for $7.85 million. Her attorney Tom Clare told the jury Tuesday that the magazine knew that Eramo encouraged the woman to report the alleged sexual assault to police, but didn't include that in its story.
