More of a love letter purportedly written by Jackie — the University of Virginia student who claimed she was gang-raped by a group of fraternity members — appears to have been plagiarized than previously believed.The good news is that Jackie is an attention-seeking little neurotic who is now getting more attention that she'd ever imagined. The bad news is that half the country is not only paying attention to her, but is also laughing at her. And these various plagiarizations raises an obvious question: from what source did Jackie crib her absurd rape scene dialogue?
On Thursday, The Daily Caller published an email which Jackie purportedly sent to a man named Haven Monahan, who the co-ed claimed to have gone on a date with on Sept. 28, 2012, the night she also says she was sexually assaulted at a fraternity house.
A person claiming to be Monahan then forwarded the email to Ryan Duffin, a friend and love interest of Jackie’s. It has come to light that Monahan most likely never existed — a development which, among other pieces of evidence, strongly suggests that Jackie fabricated the claim she was sexually assaulted.
After publication of the email on Thursday, TheDC followed up with a report that the first paragraph of Jackie’s letter was cribbed from an episode of the popular TV show Dawson’s Creek.
Now, a deeper look reveals that even more of the letter was copied from other sources. Let us count the ways. In her email, Jackie wrote of Duffin:
He’s gorgeous, but gorgeous is an understatement. More like you’re startled every time you see him because you notice something new in a Where’s Waldo sort of way. More like you can’t stop writing third grade run on sentences because you can’t even remotely begin to describe something, someone, so inherently amazing. More like you’re afraid that if you stare at him too long, you’ll prove your grandparents right that, yes, your face will get stuck that way…but you don’t mind.
Jackie appears to have taken most of that from a University of Massachusetts student named Matt Brochu who, in an article for the school paper, which was quoted in a 2004 Washington Post article titled “Boyfriend” by Libby Copeland, wrote:
She’s gorgeous, but gorgeous is an understatement. More like you’re startled every time you see her because you notice something new in a “Where’s Waldo” sort of way. More like you can’t stop writing third grade run-on sentences because you can’t remotely begin to describe something . someone . so inherently amazing. But you’re a writer. You can describe anything. That’s what you do: pictures to words, events to words, words to even better words. But nothing seems right. More like you’re afraid that if you stare at her for too long, you’ll prove your parents right: that yes, your face will stick that way. But you wouldn’t mind.
Another sappy sentence Jackie’s email appears to have been taken from an episode of the TV show Scrubs. Jackie wrote:
I mean, if I had the chance of hanging out with anyone in the entire world or just sitting in my dorm with him talking about music and watching a crappy TV show…I‘d choose him everytime.The Scrubs scene was similar. In it, one of the characters said to another:
If I had the choice of hanging out with anyone in the entire world or sitting at home with you eating pizza, watching a crappy TV show, I’d choose you every time.
I, for one, find it absolutely hilarious that these days, a college woman can't even fake a nonexistent boyfriend without copying his fictional words from bad television shows.

Was there a rape scene in One Tree Hill? Or was it in 7th Heaven?
Easy enough to find her plagiarized sources. Run her "rape" testimony through turnitin.com.
Scrubs was pretty good for a few seasons, though just about every male on the show is a pussy.
Fake suicide attempt in 3...2...
Women, as a rule, are poor writers. The plagiarizing is not surprising.
One thing about this case that has always puzzled me is it's never been properly explained how Jackie could have fallen in love with Duffin to this extreme degree in September of her freshman year. They had known each other for approximately 4 weeks, right? Seems really odd. Do people really fall in love that fast?
LBF, I think it's possible for somebody with emotional issues subjected to the stress of a new environment without their usual support structure to fixiate on a potental enabler that fast. She may have described what she felt as 'love'.
My vote for cribbing the rape scene goes to the movie "The Accused", a 1988 movie that features a gang rape on a pinball machine with a crowd of cheering onlookers who are prosecuted for criminal solicitation by a female DA. Don't know if it features broken glass and a beer bottle though. Since it's based on an actual crime I wouldn't be surprised if "Jackie" heard about it at the rape crisis center.

Excellent early on, but it did go downhill. Funny thing is, that quote is from a late third-season episode that was kind of a shark-jumping point for me. There were good individual episodes after that, but they'd gone off the rails with the central character and relationship.
Don't people know if you're going to steal lines for a love letter, you're supposed to get them from some unknown author from a century ago, not from a fairly recent and popular TV show?

Well, there is the "five minutes of alpha" phenomenon.
In her case, though, I'd think a woman who was actually besotted wouldn't have to plagiarize when she waxes eloquent about him.
My wife tells the tale of getting busted in about sixth grade doing a book report on a book she hadn't read. She figured no one would've heard of a dumb old book she found in the library named Pride and Prejudice.
'Scrubs was pretty good for a few seasons, though just about every male on the show is a pussy.'
And just about every female on the show was a slutty ball busting bitch. So the characters worked well together.
Jackie and Ms. Reporter should be in jail for malicious mischief, and all those who went along with her hate-fest should join her -- including corporate officers of Rolling Stone.
These people have decimated the nation with their endless accusations against, and attacks on, boys and men.
Television is the primary conditioning tool for modern American females, along with 'education'. TV tells them what to value, desire, purchase, and hate, typically using indirect psychological methods. Fifty years of cop/lawyer shows, 'dramas', and situation comedies have convinced the American/Western female that the planet SHOULD be the psychotic, vengeful gynarchy presented on teevee. Television tells females that America teems with serial rapists and a wide variety of Other Male Offenders, and that only by expanding the State and its Justsis Sistem can American females be protected from the Male Threat that dogs their every step, from birth to old age.
It is predation, cloaked as 'justice' and as 'protecting the vulnerable'. Yet men sit and watch this propaganda too, bathing in the feelgoodness of the flicking lie-ght. Clearly the Almighty People are not capable of ruling themselves.
Off with the network heads.
Not, The Accused. The original version of her tale has changed a lot, since Jackie first told her story.
It was Duffin who Jackie first called on the night she claims she was raped. Duffin, who showed up to help Jackie along with two other friends, has said that Jackie claimed that night that she was forced to perform oral sex on five men at a fraternity house.
I am paraphrasing this next part. I can't find the link.
Event one: Jackie meets Duffin at the start of the school year and crushes hard.
Event two: Duffin has her number and it is a crazy number. He waves off.
Event three: Jackie is shattered by this rejection and invents a sock puppet that she names Haven Monahan. This is done to try and make Duffin jealous. (*Cataline's note: This is not quite as crazy as it sounds, if you happen to be under the impression that men think like women. Believe it or not from that perspective it makes sense. Consider if an orbiter breaks orbit for a better looking woman, A woman will get jealous even though she wasn't interested in her orbiter until then. A lot of projection going on here.*)
Event four: Jackie's cunning plan fails. Duffin is happy to have her out of his hair.
Event five: In a final desperate bid to gain Duffin's attention, she fakes her sexual assault. Texting Duffin to come at once. Though only oral you'll remember. In this first version her lady parts are untouched. She is not too dishonored by modern standards.
Event five prime: Duffin proves he has BRAINS and shows up with two witnesses in tow. Duffin remains unmoved and suddenly there is a rape story rocketing around campus.
Haven Monahan! Good lord, its a good thing she was plagiarizing the rest.
Good attention - bad attention - any attention. At least it's attention - t's all the same to these narcissistic ho's.
Now she gets to be the victim in a different way.
"...from what source did Jackie crib her absurd rape scene dialogue?"
It read like the opening scene of an early 80s vintage Cannon Films martial arts revenge flick.
Christopher B: to LBF - I think it's possible for somebody with emotional issues subjected to the stress of a new environment without their usual support structure to fixiate on a potental enabler that fast. She may have described what she felt as 'love'.
Yes, brother. That's the premise of my novel - that a young woman with "emotional issues" in her first few months away from home crashes head over hills in infatuation with a man cuz reality comes calling when all the usual enablers are back at home. She'll find or fabricate an enabler because we're women: fear-driven and in need of leading. We'll find a way to get someone "involved," (i.e., to notice our need/worth) no matter how unaware of that for which we cry out we are (leadership/direction/sexual dominance).
Ray. Amen. Well-said.
They did this last year as well.
