Duke lacrosse accuser admits she lied about rape allegations
Crystal Mangum, the former exotic dancer who falsely accused three Duke men's lacrosse players of rape in 2006, now says she lied about the incident and hopes they can forgive her.
“I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t, and that was wrong. And I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me,” Mangum explained in an interview for the web show “Let’s Talk with Kat,” hosted by Katerena DePasquale.
Mangum's admission comes nearly two decades after she said she was raped by former Duke players David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann at an off-campus house during a team party where she had been hired to perform.
The case caught the nation's attention, as the coach was forced to resign and the university canceled the remainder of the team's lacrosse season.
The three players arrested were eventually declared innocent by then-North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper, who is now the state's governor, based on a lack of evidence and inconsistencies in the accuser’s accounts. The Durham prosecutor, Mike Nifong, who championed Mangum's case, was later disbarred. #News #Crime
