That's the Web address of an article from the first page of results for a Google search of the term "uva rolling stone."
On September 21, Haven says that Jackie told him that Ryan convinced her to go on a date with Haven, and thanks him. Ryan says "Yeah, no problem, man." Then, they talk about where Haven will take Jackie for dinner. One of the places that Haven tells Ryan that he's thinking about taking Jackie is the Boar's Head Inn. The website for the Boar's Head Inn says that it is the official website of the University of Virginia.
On September 27, Haven and Ryan text about the date that Haven and Jackie are going to have on September 28, 2012, which is the night of the sexual assault that Jackie later reported to Rolling Stone
The original statement that the Charlottesville police posted at their website about their investigation said that they had identified someone according to the description that Jackie had given to Rolling Stone. The police statement said that the financial records of that person corroborated what Jackie said about having had dinner at the Boar's Head Inn on September 28th.
The Charlottesville police statement did everything that it could to minimize the evidence that Jackie was raped. However, if you read that statement, you cannot get around the fact that there is a real person who was identifiable to the police according to Jackie's description and who paid for a meal at the Boar's Head Inn on September 28, 2012.
In the first stages of their texting, Ryan does not press Haven about where Haven sits in chemistry class. What Ryan does is pretend to be a girl named Brianna and then ask Haven several times to go out with Brianna.
Everyone who has attacked Jackie and Rolling Stone has called Jackie a liar. Is Ryan a girl named Brianna? It doesn't seem to me that he is or ever was. Whatever Ryan and his friends are telling everyone now about "Jackie's lies," the texts between him and Haven Monahan indicate that he was a willing and amused participant in those conversations.
It's not until after September 27 that the texts show signs of being about something other than adolescent silliness.
These are pictures from today of the logs of texts that CBS 6 in Virginia published online:
That's where the CBS 6 news transcript of the text messages stops.
In the texts from October 7, doesn't Haven Monahan sound like someone who is guilty of a crime and defensive about it?
The CBS 6 article says that it interviewed Ryan. Did it ask him if he had a voice, phone conversation with Haven Monahan on October 7 or sometime thereafter? Isn't that a pertinent question? Everyone who has said that Jackie lied about being raped has said that there is no such person as Haven Monahan. The texts show that Ryan made plans to have a voice, phone conversation with Haven Monahan. Did that conversation take place?
Until reading those texts today, I thought that there probably was never a "Haven Monahan," that Jackie probably did invent him as a joke. I thought it was unfortunate for her that she got raped and that her joke then got used against her by former friends who had mistreated her about the rape and who wanted to protect themselves. After reading the texts, I'm starting to think that Haven Monahan, in one way or another, is a real person. Is he Drew? Was Drew a participant in the Haven Monahan joke, someone whom Jackie talked to about her unrequited attraction to Ryan, who then exploited her insecurities and got her gang-raped?
These are pictures of texts that were transcribed in the CBS 6 article, rather than in the document to which CBS provided a link from the article:
"20:03:27" is not "prior to" "18:29:06."
What CBS 6 is showing does not seem to be a continuous text conversation between Jackie and Ryan.
It looks as if Ryan DID have a voice, phone conversation with "Haven Monahan":
"I couldn't hear you that well," texts Haven to Ryan.
I'm listening to the CBS 6 broadcast that's part of the online article. There are some inconsistencies:
-Both Ryan and Alex say that they knew that Jackie was interested in Ryan, so that's not a "secret desire."
-The broadcast says that "On September 28, 2012, (Jackie) says that she's going to give (Haven) a chance."
Did CBS 6 read the transcripts of the texts that it published?
These are pictures of texts that were enlarged by CBS 6 for the online article:
Ryan "wasn't planning on Haven going and telling (Jackie)" what? What happened during the voice, phone conversation between Ryan and "Haven"? Did Ryan call Haven's number, did a male voice answer, what did they talk about?
A search for someone named Brianna who asked Haven Monahan to go out with her would not yield results, would it? Does that mean that Ryan is not a real person?
No matter what, Jackie's account of being sexually assaulted is bookended by two things. The first is the financial record of someone who matches the description of "Drew" from the Rolling Stone article enough so that the police questioned him and found evidence that he paid for a meal at the Boar's Head on September 28, 2012. The other is the lawsuit brought by the three fraternity members who say that the Rolling Stone article described them and the room at the fraternity house where she was raped so accurately that everyone whom they knew identified them from what Jackie said about them in the article, even though their real names were not printed in that article. Since Jackie was a first-year student during the first semester of school on September 27, 2012, and they're all saying that they didn't know who she was until she accused them of raping her, how did she know all of the things about them and a private room at their fraternity house that were in the article if the sexual assault didn't happen the way that she said it did?
It is a testament to the arrogance of the University of Virginia and that fraternity that those three rapists are demanding to be paid money for a rape accusation that they say is fake while they try to base that demand for money and reputation restoration on the fact that they and the rape were all accurately described by the magazine that they're suing.
