I mean, the story was pretty clearly fabricated from the ground up, starting with the name of the nonexistent guy Jackie went on the nonexistent date with.

I'm not some big fan of fraternities, but accusing people of doing something they didn't do is wrong, I don't care who they are- and doubly so is still acting like they must be guilty of something even though they've been proven innocent.
