Duke lacrosse accuser admits to making up story of 2006 attack in podcast interview WSOC TV [Video]

The woman who alleged in 2006 that three Duke lacrosse players raped her admitted on a podcast that she fabricated the story.

In an interview with the “Let’s Talk With Kat” podcast, Crystal Mangum said that she lied about the crimes that she accused David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann of committing at a party in 2006. The three were declared innocent in 2007 when Mangum’s story did not hold up until legal examination.

“I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t and that was wrong,” said Mangum, 46.

On March 13, 2006, Mangum worked as an exotic dancer and had been hired to perform at an off-campus Duke lacrosse team party. She told police that she was raped and beaten while trapped in a bathroom.
