Some text messages appeared that could prove that Rolling Stone writer Sabrina Elderly showed concern to the University of Virginia's rape accuser's credibility.

On Friday, July 1, over 1,000 pages of new documentation filed by Elderly and Nicole Eramo, an associate dean of students and a member of UVA's Sexual Misconduct Board. Eramo was also a major part of Elderly's article. Eramo sues Rolling Stone for $10 million defamation lawsuit as the magazine portrayed her as uncaring and callous dean.

Washington Post covered some of the revelations from Erdely's 400+ pages of notes and from the 86 page declaration that she filed on Friday, In a 27-page of text messages, it showed the conversation between between Erdely and Alex Pinkleton, a rape survivor who became an activist and had become a close friend of "Jackie," the accuser who was central to "A Rape on Campus."

Law News obtained screen shot photos of the text messages, and it turns out that they were discussing if they are going to reveal the name of one of the men that the Jackie was accusing.

Rolling Stone journalist spent five months to publish online the 9,000-word article of the brutal attack of a gang rape happened at the University of Virginia on Nov. 19, 2014. However, on Dec. 5, 2014, the journalist sent an email with a subject line, "Our worst nightmare," that contains explanation why she no longer trust her source.

As the writer working on her story, the accuser (her source) told her that she was sexually assaulted by seven men, while two other men were just watching at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house in 2012. Jackie continued her story, and she claimed that during her attack, she was pushed through a glass table and some fraternity brothers took turns raping her while she was on top of the shards of glass, The accuser added that her dress was soaked in blood as a result, however her three friends said she appeared uninjured that night.
