Judge: Coakley must turn over communications records

Article here. Excerpt:

'Jackie Coakley gained infamy as the accuser at the center of a Rolling Stone story about rape at the University of Virginia that turned out to be fake, and now Coakley is under pressure from a Virginia court to reveal what she said to a reporter about the allegations.

This week, a judge overseeing a defamation case filed by the University of Virginia dean ordered Coakley to turn over communications relating to the alleged assault. The judge specifically asked Coakley for communication with Sabrina Rubin Erdely, the reporter who contacted Coakley and wrote the story.

Lawyers for Coakley tried to argue that the communications were privileged, Reason reported, but U.S. District Judge Glen Conrad rejected that argument.'
