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.

    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.

      There are only a few comments currently and I don’t see anything particularly disagreeable. Maybe link to one?
