Phone Numbers Provided by Jackie for Her Imaginary Boyfriend Were Created on Website That Enables Cellphone Spoofing

That is, it's actually a computer website that can pretend that it's sending texts from a cellphone of a number the user makes up and assigns to the spoof account.

This explains how the Mystery Man "Drew" sent texts to Jackie's friends, despite not actually existing:

Today the Washington Times adds significant new detail to the story. It turns out the cell numbers provided by Jackie, "are registered to Internet services that...can be used to redirect calls to different numbers or engage in spoofing." The site, known as Pinger, is an app that allows people to text for free but it can also be used to set up free texting accounts on the web. It's at least possible then that the accounts Jackie's friends were texting were not connected to a phone at all. Told about the source of the texts, one of Jackie's friends, Alex Stock, tells the Times, "That definitely raises some red flags."

This raises a possibility which I must stress is merely a possibility, a possible explanation for some contradictory claims.

I wouldn't offer this speculation, because I'll get killed by the SJWs, except that it's so obvious it's essentially right there on the surface.

Sabrina Rubin Erdely has claimed that she in fact contacted "Randall" (now identified as Ryan) but he said he would not comment on the story "out of loyalty to his frat."

Ryan, for his part, says he never spoke with Erdely, and that she never contacted him at all. He says he would have spoke to her if Erdely had asked.

So, given this business with the spoofed cell phone numbers: Is it possible that Sabrina Rubin Erdely was tricked into thinking she was texting with Ryan when in fact she was just communicating with spoofed accounts run by someone else?

I don't know. That scenario would permit both Ryan and Erdely to be telling the truth, as it appeared to them, and yet be in complete contradiction with one another. Ryan would say "Erdely never contacted me," and would be truthful, and Erdely would say "I contacted Ryan but he refused to be interviewed," and would not be lying, though she would be wrong.

Even if that were true, I don't know if that totally lets Erdely off the hook. I don't know if you just assume you've gotten through to an interview subject without any kind of actual confirmation of that.

Spooky:

15 Why would law enforcement get involved? We know that she refused to speak to them and never filed charges. So they couldn't get her for false filing or for lying to them.

Civil courts seem to be more likely to get involved eventually if someone decides that she has defamed them.

So, given this business with the spoofed cell phone numbers: Is it possible that Sabrina Rubin Erdely was tricked into thinking she was texting with Ryan when in fact she was just communicating with spoofed accounts run by someone else?

Let's see:

Sabrina Rubin Erdely has claimed that she in fact contacted "Randall" (now identified as Ryan)

Does Erdly specify the type of contact? Was it via text (in which the first italicized quote makes sense) or did she speak to "Randall", and therefore heard a voice?

If voice, then who was she really speaking to? Was it really "Randall", or someone impersonating "Randall"? This makes a difference.

And I do love the little caveat about how pinger can also be used for free texting. Who has a cellphone plan that doesn't include free texting? Better question, what 19 year old college student doesn't have free texting?

30 Renda is the one who introduced Erdely and Jackie.
She was an intern for UVA President Sullivan.
She testified before Congress in the spring when she told Jackie's story (changed the name to Jenna then).
And she worked at the White House.

Renda tells her own implausible story of being raped on campus as a freshman and never reporting it to the police.

Chuck Ross @ChuckRossDC 7h
An interview with UVA Jackie's friend, Emily Renda.
Daily Callerhttp://tinyurl.com/mzojc7w

Renda, who brought Jackie’s story to Erdely’s attention, says that whereas she was “shoved around” by a couple of guys who she says were frustrated by an op-ed she wrote about her own sexual assault, Jackie reported her bar attack before she began speaking out openly on campus about her alleged gang-rape at the Phi Kappa Psi house.

Renda said that Jackie faced “retaliatory harassment” for her claims that she was gang-raped, not because she was giving sexual assault awareness presentations on campus.

47 The spoofed texts idea is possible, given that it's almost certain Jackie did that earlier with her own friends. But I'm skeptical. I'm pretty sure that Erdley made up big chunks of this story on her own, and see no reason to suspect that Jackie spoofed some texts from "Randall".

Jackie isn't necessarily batshit crazy--she's just what a "normal" high school girl is these days.

A lot of them do this spoof crap--it's part of "cyberbullying" too.

She didn't want to go to stinky old UVa, she wanted to go to Brown and be Patch Adams (now she wants to be a social worker--and next week she's gooing to be a race car).

She wanted Randall to be her boyfriend, like, YESTERDAY!

So she did what little high school queens do. She created a drama they could all play on their "smart" phones.

And she played for three years, into an advocacy group, and on to Rolling Stone.

How was she still enrolled by then? Mind: Boggled.

105 @54 - Did anyone else see the ABC interview of "Ryan"?

Me, too...but, remember, "Jackie" had a crush on "Ryan" according to "Ryan" - who, although not at all interested in her, spent a great deal of time texting her "boyfriend" and trying to find out who her "boyfriend" was (very odd behavior). The whole story is a huge mess of unchecked gossip...but, then, so is Diane Feinstein's Senate report on CIA torture....

Good thing Rubin Erdley isn't familiar with the culture of late adolescent girls. You know, the way a reporter interviewing one ought to be.

Extremely odd behavior. No normal guy would hydrolyze a single molecule of ATP trying to find out who the boyfriend was of a girl he wasn't interested in. Why would he care?

Jay Guevara, it's a big thing in NoVA high school "culture"--I have two kids just safely out of it, boy and girl.

and both boys and girls do this crap. They are all plugged into gadgets 24-7. She could have been in the same room spoofing them, and no one would have known but her.

same possibility with SRE--she could have been right there with Jackie spoofing her. They spoof better when they're with the mark, because they can talk to them at the same time as themselves.

It's a creepy kid thing, and completely believeable to me as a mom re kids in their first few weeks of college.

112 If Erdely hadn't already been involved in no less than three phony or very doubtful stories before this one, your theory might be worthy of consideration.

But she had a story withdrawn from her college paper for fabricating it. Her first rape tale for Rolling Stone was withdrawn when the 'victim' recanted. Then she did another story about an American female soldier allegedly raped in Iraq which doesn't add up, either, although it has not been withdrawn or completely refuted - yet.

Plus, before the UVA story even came out, she was working on a screenplay of it for a movie proposal. She was looking to cash in big.

Rolling Stone editors claimed, when early questions on this story arose, that they had been in touch with the accused and that they did indeed exist - odd since Jackie gave completely different names to her friends on the night of September 28, to the U admins a year later, and to Erdely this year, and NONE of them are real people.

RS had to know about the fraud. They were part of it, and the editor in question was not fired or demoted.

113 "Is it possible that Sabrina Rubin Erdely was tricked into thinking she was texting with Ryan when in fact she was just communicating with spoofed accounts run by someone else?"

That was my conjecture shortly after I read that all the friends said they hadn't heard from RS. If Jackie was tricking her friends with the Mystery Man, it wouldn't be much of a step to do the same when the reporter asked for contact info to follow up with her friends.

114 Weekly World News once did a story where the residents of an old folks' home when berserk on Viagra and raped the entire nursing staff.

THAT was more convincing than the UVA story...

115 More likely spoof account run by Jackie to send and answer fake texts to get boys attention.

Erdeley never texted or called or talked to anyone.

______________________________

If she switched her major to sociology, it would be pretty easy. You don't have to be bright to get a degree in sociology. (It's what Michelle Obama majored in at Princeton, BTW). Lots of easy gut classes. Nothing like being a pre-med, which is what Jackie was supposed to be in her first year (when she was failing most of her classes).

Plus, do you really think the SJW's at UVA were going to expel a student who'd been a "victim" of a violent gang rape on campus? Not in a million years.

Jackie's imaginary rape solved a whole lot of problems for her. It gave her a new set of sympathetic friends, it gave her a free pass for failing her first-year classes, it gave her an excuse to change from a hard major to a gut major, it even got her on the cover of Rolling Stone . . . (okay, maybe that last one wasn't so great, but the others sure were).

I imagine she WAS failing most things, if she was spending so much effort being so many different people to try to get a (maybe closeted gay?) boy to be her accessory.

her parents can't afford Brown. Can they afford this?

Hope she is charged for false report, and gets some kind of reality-check inducing comeuppance.

mind, boggled in general by this whole thing. the "higher" ed bubble can't burst soon enough.

Yeah, that sounds like a real blockbuster--

GANG RAPE -- starring Amy McAdams and Jake Glyllenhall.

GANG RAPE -- First she was raped at a frat party. Then she was raped by the patriarchy.

GANG RAPE -- Prepare to be raped
