The central figure in a discredited Rolling Stone account of a gang-rape at the University of Virginia has been ordered to take part in a deposition for a federal libel lawsuit filed against the magazine by an associate dean at the school, the first time she’ll give a sworn statement about her allegations. U.S. District Court Judge Glen E. Conrad has ordered the former U-Va. student known as “Jackie” to participate in interviews related to the $10 million lawsuit U-Va. associate dean Nicole Eramo has filed against the magazine. Eramo alleges that Rolling Stone published a false and libelous account that smeared the dean as being callous and indifferent to Jackie’s sexual assault allegations.
