Crystal Mangum

 

Does the name Crystal Mangum mean anything to you.  (Yes, that spelling is correct.)  She is the stripper who make the Duke Lacrosse Team rape accusation at Duke back in 2006.  During an interview from her prison cell, where she is doing 14-18 years for offing her boyfriend back in 2013, she just admitted what anybody with a functional brain already knew, that the story was a complete fabrication. 

The statute of limitations for perjury in North Carolina is two years.

The district attorney, Mike Nifong, was disbarred in 2007 for withholding exculpatory DNC evidence.  He eventually apologized.  

 

 

(L to R): Former Duke University lacrosse players Reade Seligmann, David Evans and Collin Finnerty, who were falsely accused of sexual assault in 2006.

The three lacrosse players that were thrown out of school, Evans, Finnerty and Seligmann, sued the university and it's then-president and received undisclosed settlements.
