Crystal Mangum, who accused three Duke lacrosse players of rape, now says she lied
Crystal Mangum, the former exotic dancer who accused three Duke men’s lacrosse players of rape in 2006, igniting a national firestorm, now says she lied about the encounter.
“I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t, and that was wrong. And I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me,” Mangum said on the web show “Let’s Talk with Kat,” hosted by Katerena DePasquale.
The interview took place at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women, where Mangum is serving time for a 2013 second-degree murder conviction for stabbing her boyfriend.
“I made up a story that wasn’t true because I wanted validation from people and not from God,” Mangum said.
On the podcast, she said she hopes the three men will forgive her.
“I want them to know that I love them, and they didn’t deserve that, and I hope that they can forgive me,” she said.
Mangum’s admission comes nearly two decades after she said she was raped by former players David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann.
According to the Duke student newspaper, Duke Athletics declined to comment. The university, and the school’s president and head men’s lacrosse coach at the time, did not respond to the student newspaper’s request for comment. There’s been no reported comment from the players.

with a gun to my head i'd bet way less than 1/50 of accusers are lying - victims should be angrier with her than anyone else. with any luck though trump will make getting raped illegal. they can call it 'jezebelery' or something.

She was pissed that the boys requested a white stripper and got her instead, so they had to pay.

How would you characterize the hundreds of white women who made false accusations of looking, whistling, touching or rape that resulted in the maiming, lynching or burning of innocent Black men?
What she did was very wrong but the damage done was not irreparable. They are still alive. Because she was Black she was disbelieved anyway, and the players were fully exonerated of any wrongdoing over a decade ago. They're white men so they got second, third, fourth and fifth chances at a good life. Almost no harm done.

R12 well to play devils advocate he might be calling her a violent black bitch because she is literally currently in prison for murdering her ex boyfriend in 2011. Perhaps she thinks this confession will make look good for the parole board 😂.

I just want to also add she was not disbelieved at first. Everyone was on her side you know besides white frat boys themselves. But the problem was how misleading the prosecutor was from the very beginning. He had never even met her. They simply ran away with the story and the prosecutor was being overzealous with facts that he was unable to prove actually ever occurred. And then the other stripper at first said there was no way that was girl raped but then changed her story. It all got muddled but the tide quickly changed yet the prosecutor had some type of vendetta. I don’t know maybe he truly believed her but as a DA he should know better.

When you look at this woman’s rap sheet. Good lawd she benefited from reverse sexism. High speed police chase and other unfounded accusations of rape prior to the Duke boys. Then never being held accountable for the Duke accusations of rape. Fast forward 4 years later, charged with attempted murder among a host of felonies. Ends up only severing 66 days time served lol. The year after that, she murders her boyfriend and finally gets convicted of 2nd degree murder. One would have almost thought this hooker was a white male.

Bad actors all over this thread. They think this woman's misdeeds gives permission to be a fucking bigoted asshole pushing some sort of fucking agenda they can't push with the people in their real lives.

Anyone with a brain knew this at the time, but people had their political and other agendas to push at the time. She's a psychotic, lying cunt. And, of course, she ended up killing someone too.
Remember the "Gang of 88"? All of those supposedly smart professors that wouldn't back down even with the evidence not supporting their twisted version of reality? HA!
And, of course, there are people who will act like this was no big deal because they were white men. As if that somehow makes it better in the least instead of being an admission of disgusting racism on the part of the one who says it. These men had to go through great trauma because of a fucked up DA who wanted to make a name forhimself and a bunch of feminist and anti-white racist wackos pushing political agendas.

This is reminiscent of the Central Park 5.
Both of the cases obviously have strong racial issues but that isn't my point.
They were accused of a horrible crime while knowing they were innocent, publicly judged and then finally absolved.

The case is only somewhat reminiscent of the Central Park 5. These guys had the best attorneys money could buy and successfully fought these frivolous charges. They didn’t spend varying amount of years in prison while a future president of the United States called for their hanging in downtown Durham.
