Charlottesville police have released their findings in the UVA rape case and have announced that they found no evidence to support claims published in a 2014 Rolling Stone article that a University of Virginia student was ganged raped at a fraternity in 2012.
The report revealed that a months long investigation led police to discredit several claims made about the alleged sexual assault.
Police claimed that they interviewed the alleged victim know only to the public as "Jackie," several times and that she declined to cooperate with police questioning, choosing instead to remain silent about the incident.
“We’re not able to conclude to any substantive degree that an incident occurred at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house or any other fraternity house, for that matter,” said Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy J. Longo in a Monday press conference. “That doesn’t mean something terrible didn’t happen to Jackie … we’re just not able to gather sufficient facts to determine what that is.”
This is the first official statement discrediting "Jackie's" accounting of events since the investigation was opened five months ago.
Police were not even able to find credible evidence that there was an event at the Fraternity house in question on the night that "Jackie" claimed to have been raped.
Longo claims that the case is not "closed" but has been suspended until a time when someone comes forth with credible information.
Late last year MRCTV traveled to the UVA campus to ask students about the scandal.
