Crystal Mangum Admits to Fabricating 2006 Duke Lacrosse Rape Accusation

Crystal Mangum, who accused three Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006, has admitted on a podcast that she lied about the allegations. Mangum, currently serving time for a separate murder conviction, expressed regret for her false testimony, which led to significant consequences for the players and the Duke lacrosse program. The players were declared innocent in 2007, and the district attorney involved was disbarred for misconduct. Mangum hopes for forgiveness from the players she falsely accused.
