Revisiting the Duke Lacrosse Case After Crystal Mangum Admitted to Fabricating the Scandal: What Happened in 2006 and Where Are the Players Now?
In 2006, Crystal Mangum alleged that three Duke lacrosse players raped her at a party. Nearly two decades later, she has admitted to fabricating the story.
At the time, Mangum was an exotic dancer who had been hired to perform at an off-campus Duke lacrosse team party on March 13, 2006. She initially told police that she was raped, sodomized and beaten for a 30-minute period while trapped in a bathroom in the early morning hours of March 14, per local media outlet WRAL, citing court records.
Following her claims, Duke lacrosse players Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans were falsely charged with multiple crimes including rape, sparking a nationwide scandal after no DNA evidence linked them to the crime. The charges were eventually dropped, and in April 2007, the men were exonerated.

Crystal Mangum admits to fabricating 2006 Duke lacrosse scandal accusations
Content warning: This article contains mentions of sexual assault and rape.
Crystal Mangum, the woman who falsely accused three Duke men’s lacrosse players of rape in 2006, admitted she lied about the allegations and asked for David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann’s forgiveness.
Mangum made her confession in an interview published Wednesday on “Let’s Talk with Kat,” hosted by Katerena DePasquale, at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women. Unrelated to the lacrosse case, Mangum is currently in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder of her then-boyfriend in 2013.
“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 in the interview. “[I] made up a story that wasn't true because I wanted validation from people and not from God.”
