Ex-stripper Crystal Mangum, who falsely accused Duke lacrosse players of rape, walks free years after killing boyfriend

A former exotic dancer who made headlines for falsely accusing three Duke lacrosse students of raping her has been freed from prison in the 2011 slaying of her boyfriend.

Crystal Mangum, 47, was let out of the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women in Raleigh just before 10 a.m. Friday after serving a 14-to-18-year sentence for fatally stabbing beau Reginald Daye in April 2011, according to a report by NBC News.

Mangum wore a gray sweatshirt and khaki pants on her way out of the facility.

She was escorted in a corrections vehicle to Durham to live with a friend, corrections spokesman Brad Deen said.

Mangum admitted in 2024 that she had made up the allegations that David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann raped her in 2006 when she was performing at a Duke party with another stripper.

Former Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong was disbarred in 2007 for lying in court and failing to disclose information that would have cleared the three men.

I’ve often wondered what became of the sanctimonious Duke faculty members that produce “the letter” and other statements of horror at something that was always in doubt.

all of it ...

I don't do any of those things and I don't know any other men that do, except some watch sports on TV but that doesn't cost them any money.

You're either a mental case or a filthy, satanic liar ... take your pick ...

Right. There is no such thing as strip clubs full of men paying to watch women take their clothes off.

There is no such thing as prostitution because there are no men willing to pay for it.

Prostitution Money Statistics

And there's no such thing as human trafficking, and all of that news about Jeffery Epstein is made up.

You don't patronize those industries? Good, then you should share my outrage at those men who do.

You don't know anyone who does? You don't get out enough.

You're either a mental case or a filthy, satanic liar ... take your pick ...

Billions spent on prostitution in the US alone every year is proof that I'm neither the satanic liar or mental case on this thread.

OK, then I'll let you prove whatever point you're trying to make.

How much money do men spend on porn?

How much money do men spend in strip bars?

How much money do men spend on drugs?

How much money do men spend on prostitution?

Finally, how much money do men spend fighting for their rights and the rights of their sons? I mean besides when they're dragged into court and have no choice but to lawyer up.

I'll look forward to reading the wisdom in your facts.

every time you post you prove me correct ...

your perception of reality is as warped as any leftist ...

you don't ask the correct questions ...

it's not about much money, it's about how many men ...

none in my world and I think most people would agree ...

did you choose bad men in your past and now blame all men for your poor choices?

you're a mental case ...

That's a fair point, so let's go.

How many men watch porn?

How many men go to strip bars? Bonus question, how many are married?

How many men use drugs?

How many men patronize or have patronized prostitutes and human traffickers?

Now, how many men have supported the fight (or lack of) for men's rights and the rights of their sons, vs how many have constantly sold men out to score a few points?

none in my world and I think most people would agree ...

Do you think your male friends are going to come out and say "I watch porn" or "I patronize human traffickers"? If you the righteous person you build yourself up to be, they would probably avoid letting you in on it. That doesn't mean at least some of them aren't doing that.

But going back to the point of my thread which was the lack of action from men in fighting the war on men, war on fathers, or war on boys, how many of your male friends have actively done anything about it?
