Rolling Stone magazine has apologized for a story about a gang-rape at a fraternity party, saying it was wrong to accept the alleged victim's story without contacting other parties allegedly involved.

But following backlash against the magazine, some advocates for sexual violence victims fear that the apology will set back efforts to eliminate campus rape.

Published last month, the article intended to shed light on what the magazine called a hidden culture of sexual violence at the University of Virginia.

Journalist Sabrina Rubin Erdely did not contact the men who were allegedly involved, due to a request by the woman, identified only as "Jackie," reports said.

"In the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in Jackie's account, and we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced," the magazine said on its website.

''We were trying to be sensitive to the unfair shame and humiliation many women feel after a sexual assault and now regret the decision to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account,'' the statement said. ''We are taking this seriously and apologize to anyone who was affected by the story.''

Alison Kiss, executive director of the Clery Center for Security On Campus, told the Associated Press that advocates for victims of sexual violence believe the apology could have ''chilling effect'' on the number of victims who report cases.

But she said the apology ''doesn't change the facts: Sexual assault on campus is drastically underreported and false reports are incredibly rare.''



'명문대 집단성폭행' 보도 미 잡지 "기사에 모순" 사과

최근 언론을 통해 알려지기 시작해 미국에 큰 논란을 불러온 '명문대 집단성폭행 사건'이 사실이 아닐 가능성이 강하게 제기됐다.

미국 대중문화잡지 '롤링스톤'은 5일(현지시간) 자사 웹사이트에 올린 사과문을 통해 버지니아대 남학생 사교클럽 소속 학생들이 한 여학생을 집단 성폭행했다는 지난달 19일 기사의 모순점을 발견했다고 밝혔다고 뉴욕타임스(NYT) 등 미국 언론이 전했다. 

이 잡지는 2012년 어느 주말 '재키'라는 이름의 버지니아 대학 신입생이 사교클럽 파티에 초대받아 갔다가 데이트 상대를 포함한 7명의 학생들에게 성폭행당했다고 보도한 바 있다. 

편집장 윌 다나는 사과문에서 '우리는 성폭행에 가담했다는 학생들을 접촉하려는 노력을 하지 않았다'며 '새로운 정보를 접하고 나서 기사를 쓴 기자에 대한 신뢰가 적절치 못했다는 결론을 내렸다'고 밝혔다.

그는 '(보도 당시) 성폭행 사건을 접한 뒤 많은 여성들이 느낄 부당한 수치심과 모욕감을 배려하고 노력했지만 지금은 가해자로 지목된 학생들에게 연락해 설명을 듣지 않았던 것을 후회한다'고 말했다. 

또 '이런 사실을 심각하게 받아들이며 기사로 인해 충격을 받은 모든 이들에게 사과한다'는 입장을 밝혔다. 

가해 학생들이 속해 있다는 사교클럽은 문제의 주말에 아무 행사도 열지 않았으며, 가해자 중 한 명이 학교 수영장 안전요원으로 일했다는 기사 내용도 조사 결과 사실이 아닌 것으로 드러났다고 밝혔다. 

기사를 작성한 담당기자는 여러 의문이 제기된 뒤에도 '기사 내용이 맞다고 확신하며, 기사의 진실성 논란은 사건의 실체에 쏠린 관심을 다른 데로 돌리려는 것이다'라는 주장을 펴고 있는 것으로 알려졌다. 

문제의 기사 내용은 널리 퍼지면서 미국에서는 대학 캠퍼스의 성폭행 문제와 이에 대한 대응을 놓고 큰 논란이 일고 있다. (연합뉴스)
