Charlottesville police are set to release the results of the investigation of a report of gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house.
In January police had said they found no substantive evidence the allegations raised had occurred. It is still unclear what Monday afternoon's announcement will be.
The investigation stems from a widely read – and now discredited – article published in Rolling Stone magazine last November in which a female student, identified as Jackie, claimed to have been raped by seven men at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house in 2012. The article also detailed the university's failure to investigate the reported assault.
The article garnered so much attention, the university suspended all fraternities for the semester.
Two weeks after the story was published, following an investigation of the story by the Washington Post , Rolling Stone issued an apology to its readers and announced that Columbia Journalism School will be conducting an independent review of the magazine's editorial process. The review, led by Deans Steve Coll and Sheila Coronel, is expected to be released in the beginning of April.
Phi Kappa Psi was reinstated in January.
