Rolling Stone Magazine’s gang rape story by a woman named Jackie was later discredited and cost the magazine and the article’s author millions in defamation damages-NY Times, 11/8/2016, 6/13/2017
“The magazine failed to take basic journalistic steps to verify the account of a woman, identified only as Jackie, who said she was the victim of a gang rape.”
11/8/2016, “ In Rolling Stone Defamation Case, Magazine and Reporter Ordered to Pay $3 Million,” NY Times, Hawes Spencer and Ben Sisario, Charlottesville, Va.
“A
federal jury on Monday ordered Rolling Stone and one of its writers to
pay $3 million in damages to a University of Virginia administrator over
a discredited article two years ago about a supposed gang rape at the university.
The
jury in Charlottesville, Va., had already decided on Friday, after a
two-week trial, that Rolling Stone; Wenner Media, its parent company;
and Sabrina Rubin Erdely, the author of the article, were all liable for
defamation in a case that centered on faulty reporting and a failure to apply basic fail-safes in editing.
After deliberating for less than two hours on Monday, the
jury of eight women and two men decided that Ms. Erdely was liable for
$2 million of the total, and Rolling Stone and Wenner Media for $1
million . In her suit, filed in May 2015, the administrator, Nicole P. Eramo, had asked for $7.5 million in damages.

Added: Rolling Stone also had to pay $1.65 million to the defamed fraternity:
6/13/2017, “ Rolling Stone to Pay $1.65 Million to Fraternity Over Discredited Rape Story , ” NY Times, Sydney Ember
.........
“Rolling
Stone has agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by the
University of Virginia fraternity at the center of a discredited article
about an alleged gang rape , effectively closing the door on a pivotal and damaging chapter in the magazine’s history….
The settlement essentially brings to an end the legal issues facing Rolling Stone over the 9,000-word article published in November 2014. In April, the magazine and the writer of the article, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, settled a suit brought by a University of Virginia administrator, Nicole P. Eramo , who said the article defamed her and portrayed her as the “chief villain” of the story. (A federal jury had awarded Ms. Eramo $3 million in damages in November 2016 . ) A third lawsuit, filed by three former fraternity members, was dismissed last June, though that decision is being appealed.
The article, “A Rape on Campus,” was retracted in April 2015 after a Columbia Journalism School report that said the magazine failed to take basic journalistic steps to verify the account of a woman, identified only as Jackie,
who said she was the victim of a gang rape. It was an embarrassing
episode for a magazine that has long prided itself on its journalistic
accomplishments.”…
