This is a quote from the November 19, 2014 Rolling Stone article called "A Rape on Campus: A Brutal Assault and Struggle for Justice at UVA":
"She remembers every moment of the next three hours of agony, during which, she says, seven men took turns raping her, while two more--her date, Drew, and another man--gave instruction and encouragement. She remembers how the spectators swigged beers, and how they called each other nicknames like Armpit and Blanket."
Were those nicknames part of what identified two of the three Phi Kappa Psi fraternity members, whose lawsuit against Rolling Stone was dismissed yesterday, to their friends, families, and students at the University of Virginia when the Rolling Stone article was published?
Everybody at both fraternities interviewed by the Charlottesville police department subsequent to the publication of the Rolling Stone article said that they didn't know who Jackie was, so it doesn't seem as if she was at the Phi Kappa Psi house before she was taken there by Drew on the night of September 28, 2012. She was from rural Virginia, and was attending the University of Virginia because her parents couldn't afford an out-of-state school that has the academic reputation that the University of Virginia has, so she didn't know them socially before she got to the school. The rape happened a month after the start of her first year; she didn't know those men before they raped her and talked to and about each other while she was being assaulted.
