The Charlottesville, Va. Police Department plans to announce the results of its investigation into an alleged gang rape at the center of a disputed Rolling Stone story on Monday.

Police will hold a news conference “to provide the media and public with the results of the investigation into an alleged sexual assault at the University of Virginia that was reported in Rolling Stone magazine in the fall of 2014,” according to a press release. The news conference is scheduled to take place at 2 p.m. ET.

In January, police said so far they found “no basis to believe” that the alleged gang rape detailed in the article by a student named “Jackie” occurred at UVA’s Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house.

The Columbia Journalism School is conducting an ongoing, independent review of Rolling Stone’s story. The article unraveled after other news outlets poked holes in its reporting, leading the magazine to admit there were discrepancies in Jackie’s account of the alleged gang rape.
