Rolling Stone 'should pay’: Police investigation finds no 'substantive basis' to UVA rape story

Last month, Rolling Stone updated a previous story with an editor’s note apologizing for the quality of its reporting about an alleged gang-rape occurring at the University of Virginia.

The troubles for the university might not be over.

@BecketAdams @instapundit @RollingStone time to file that civil suit!
