The radical feministNational Organization for Women is defending the former University of Virginiastudent whose false rape claims against a group of fraternity members appearedin a Rolling Stone article that is now the subject of a massive defamationlawsuit.
In an open letter published this week, NOW president TerryO\’Neill called on UVA president Teresa Sullivan to intervene to stop NicoleEramo, a dean at the school, from pushing forward with her lawsuit againstRolling Stone and its reporter, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, for the Nov. 19, 2014article “A Rape on Campus.”
“It is exactly this kind of victim blaming and shaming thatfosters rape culture, re-victimizes those brave enough to have come forward,and silences countless other victims,” she continued, adding thatEramo\’s demands “recite nearly every false argument made to underminevictims of sexual assault.”
