The exotic dancer who once accused three Duke University lacrosse of raping her admitted this week that she invented the 2006 allegations that set off a combustible national conversation about gender, race and class. Crystal Mangum, who is now in prison serving time for second-degree murder, said she 'made up a story that wasn't true' against one-time defendants David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann who 'didn't deserve that.
Charges against the players were eventually dropped, but it later emerged that Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong withheld evidence from defense lawyers that could have cleared the men much earlier. The prosecutor was disbarred in 2007. 'That night Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and Dave Evans, they took me into their home and they trusted ,' Mangum said at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women.
