Crystal Mangum, who falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players and lost lawsuit, apologizes on podcast
The woman who in 2006 falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of raping her – making national headlines that stirred tensions about race, class and the privilege of college athletes – has admitted publicly for the first time that she made up the story.
“I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t and that was wrong,” Mangum, 46, said in the interview, which was released on Monday. The interview was recorded last month at theCorrectional Institution for Women, where Mangum is incarcerated for fatally stabbing her boyfriend in 2011.
The state attorney general’s office concluded there was no credible evidence an attack had ever occurred, and its investigation found no DNA, witnesses or other evidence to confirm Mangum’s story.
