Woman Admits She Lied About Duke Lacrosse Players Raping Her Nearly 20 Years Ago: 'I Made Up a Story'
people.com
Former stripper Crystal Mangum has admitted that she lied about three Duke University lacrosse raping her in 2006, nearly 20 years after making the allegations against them. Mangum made the confession during an appearance on the 'Let's Talk with Kat' podcast.

Summary

Crystal Mangum, who accused three Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006, admitted for the first time on a podcast that her claims were fabricated.

She said she lied for validation and apologized to Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and David Evans, acknowledging they “didn’t deserve” the accusations.

The case, which drew national attention, collapsed after evidence disproved her story, leading to the disbarment of Durham DA Mike Nifong for misconduct.

Mangum is currently in prison for a 2011 murder conviction.

    This story is years old. It came out that she was lying like 2 or 3 years after the fact. But yeah, the lacrosse team had their character assassinated hard during that time.

    Some of these comments demonstrate the tech-bro male dominated culture of lemmy and those people should be ashamed of themselves and piss off back to Reddit. I don’t want any rancid basement dwelling men in my replies either - I will not debate you. I will just block you.
