Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner has decided not to take any disciplinary action against the editors or fact-checkers involved in the production of a flawed story about an alleged rape at the University of Virginia, according to people with direct knowledge of the decision.

Columbia University will publish the results Sunday of an extraordinary three-month review of Rolling Stone magazine's editorial processes.

It will be published on the web at 8 p.m. ET.

A jury has found Rolling Stone magazine liable for defamation over its explosive and later discredited story about a gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house.

The suit was brought by UVA administrator Nicole Eramo, who says the article, "A Rape on Campus," portrayed her as insensitive to the plight of an alleged rape victim. She seeks $7.5 million from the magazine, publisher Wenner Media and reporter Sabrina Rubin Erdely.

Charlottesville police found no evidence that the rape happened. And journalists and readers were stunned to learn that Erdely never spoke to the men identified as attackers. Ref. CNN.
