Twitter users showed their support for a University of Virginia student known as Jackie whose detailed account of being raped was published in Rolling Stone last month, hours after the magazine said it had reason to doubt her story.
Using the hashtag #IStandWithJackie, Twitter users said questioning Jackie's claim of rape might discourage others from coming forward.
