(Reuters) - An independent investigator will examine allegations of a 2012 gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house that was described in harrowing detail in Rolling Stone magazine, the state's attorney general said on Tuesday.

Attorney General Mark Herring said the law firm of O'Melveny & Myers would examine both the incident in which seven fraternity members are accused and how the university handled the matter.

University Rector George Keith Martin apologized to the survivor of the alleged attack, identified only as Jackie.

"I would like to say to Jackie and her family that I’m sorry,” Martin said during a special meeting of the university’s Board of Visitors in Charlottesville, where the university is located.

The Rolling Stone article was just sickening.
