Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Police Find Lack of Evidence in UVA Gang Rape Case

HeadlineMar 24, 2015

Police in Charlottesville, Virginia, say an investigation into an alleged gang rape at a fraternity reported by Rolling Stone magazine has failed to uncover evidence of a crime. Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said the outcome “doesn’t mean that something terrible didn’t happen to [the victim] Jackie.” Rolling Stone has acknowledged discrepancies in details described by Jackie, who did not participate in the police investigation. When the article came out, UVA was already under federal investigation for its handling of sexual assault, along with a growing list which now includes more than 90 other schools.
