UVa Fraternity Files $25M Defamation Suit Against Rolling Stone

Phi Kappa Psi, the fraternity where an alleged gang rape occurred, has sued Rolling Stone and the author of a sensational article for publishing the account.  Rolling Stone relied on the allegations of the alleged victim, but  subsequent investigations found no evidence to substantiate the claims.  Three individual members of the fraternity are suing for at least $225,000 each and an associate dean is suing for $7.5 million dollars.  Virginia Lawyers Weekly has the story.

Updated:  Because I practiced in Charlottesville, I have been looking for the name of the attorney representing the plaintiffs.  It turns out that Tom Albro, for whom I worked for seven years, is that attorney.  Rolling Stone had better be prepared.
