May 13, 2006 — The second round of DNA test results in the Duke University rape investigation show "no conclusive match'' to any lacrosse players, defense attorneys said, but a vaginal swab of the alleged rape victim produced DNA from a "single male source'' — a man not on the lacrosse team who did not attend a March 13 party that was the site of the alleged rape.

Defense attorney Joe Chesire declined to identify the mystery man or his connection to the alleged victim, but ABC News' Law and Justice Unit has learned that the unnamed source of the DNA is the alleged victim's "boyfriend," according to her mother.
ABC News is withholding the name of the man because he is apparently not a target of the investigation. Records indicate that Durham, N.C., police gave the "boyfriend'' a cheek swab to collect DNA on May 3, ABC News' Law and Justice Unit has learned exclusively.
It is unclear if or how the first DNA tests missed what appears to be the only foreign genetic material found on the alleged victim's body, defense attorneys said. Two Duke lacrosse players were indicted more than two weeks before the cheek swab was taken from the "boyfriend."
It is also unclear whether the alleged victim had sex with the "boyfriend" the night she claims to have been raped by three Duke lacrosse players. DNA experts tell ABC News that genetic traces of semen can remain in the body up to six days after intercouse.

Didn't they find that broomstick's DNA?
This article from the NCCU campus paper notes the difference between dancers procured from entertainment companies, and those from escort services like Kim and the false accuser:

This appears to be a back-pedaling tactic on NiFong's part...not some surprise element.
Don't forget, we were being fed a FALSE nail and tissue DNA match as the whopper in the case with absolutely no mention of semen.
It was "splintered."
Transgendered? Dyke? Professional acquaintance? Canine American? Could be any of lots of things.
Oh, no problem; I just know that I am skeptical of "Newbies" so I thought I'd vouch for them.
I believe her.
Do you believe her?
Check "yes" or "no."
That's a Public Building. The press does not need a pass to be there.
The father is the "boyfriend" in quotes? or maybe he is just trying to position himself after the fact for a share of the loot that is supposed to come cascading down on the woman.
The racial slurs is what she'll use in a civil suit and she probably will win. That happens every day.
Hi
Before I left today....Fox had some silly NC attorney on...he said the guys WERE charged with using an "object" in the sexual assault. Said if sexual "assault" is charged, it means an object was used.
Did anyone else see that report?
John Bourlan.
He's lying.
FOX doing report on this story now...
Thanks! Didn't sound right to me....but the reporterette let him ramble on....I should have known.
I think the "boyfriend" is someone known to the Durham Police, and also known to the defense, at least one defense lawyer, who is most-likely a client, and that is why they are protecting his name.
Maverick basketball has taken over all forms of life here...
No news for me til after the game...
Boy Friend identified by multiple sources.
chris Cuomo is saying he was worried that people would think the wrong thing if they found out she had other sex?
Why would a reporter be worried about that???
Two different fingernails? What are they talking about?
Two fingernails, two different players.
Oh, Kimberly doesn't get it; she thinks that the nails mean 2 more players will indicted.
ABC, Christopher Cuomo - "We were trying to find out where accused was that night before the party. On 5/3, man id'd as her boyfriend, he was identified by multiple choices, had his cheek swabbed for a DNA sample.
We were worried that when people heard about the intercourse, her credibility would be impugned."
Can you imagine? ABC was worried about her reputation. OMG
