Creedmoor Officials Discuss Previous Report Made By Duke Accuser

EXCERPT

They did not say why the complaint, which was about an alleged rape by three men in 1993, was not explored further. They said that they were not sure if it was because the accuser did not pursue the case.

The accuser was asked by police in 1996 to write and submit a chronological version of the events, but police could not say if it was ever submitted. It was not found in a search of police records.

"If the accuser did not pursue the case, that is the end of it," said Pollard, who added that he did not know if that was the case.

Moss said that the city was planning to meet with Granville County District Attorney Sam Currin to find out if he has any records about the case. Moss said that Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong called Creedmoor police Friday morning, but they had not talked about the report before the news conference.

Reached by WRAL after the news conference, Nifong said that he was not planning on dropping the case against the two Duke lacrosse players charged with rape.

What???

Change that "p" in Rape to a "c". No what I am sayin?

[I want to know]

From the same article:

With aspirations to travel the world, the former husband said, she signed up in the fall of 1996 for an eight-year enlistment

So she enlisted for the Navy in the fall of 1996 and reported a rape from 1993.

[maggief]

She filed the report 8/18/96 ... then enlisted in the fall.

hmmmmmmmm

[shhrubbery!]

I can't imagine that anyone not blinded by class envy or racial prejudice can believe this woman, especially after this

Actually it's the shrieking banshee feminazi cable commentatorettes who are THE most blinded in this case.

E.g., Wendy Murphy --the absolute worst of the lemon-sucking, foaming-at-the-mouth, rabid, rude, intolerant, illogical, presumptuous man-hating screamers.

And Kimberley Guilfoyle (aka ex-Mrs. Gavin Newsom).

Some posters here are mentioning Nancy Grace, too. I wouldn't know about that since I can't stand to look at Miz Grace's hate-filled face. Nasty.

And hey, I'm a woman, so I can say these things. Right, girls?

[Neverforget01]

I should know this..but when did the year of counseling and medications start?

[maggief]

I'm not sure when they divorced. See also GAgal's post.

---

At 19, she married, but got separated two months later. She was divorced about a year later. In a brief interview Monday, her ex-husband described her as "very loving" and said she's usually quick to smile. He said he saw her about a week ago, and knew something was wrong by her demeanor. He also said she "has been hurt before," but didn't elaborate.

In 2002, she was working at a topless club in Durham, when she stole a cab driver's car keys while giving him a lap dance, according to a police report. When the driver went to the bathroom, she drove off in the cab and led police on a lengthy car chase. In the process, she smashed into a patrol car and attempted to drive through a fence, but was eventually arrested after her car got a flat tire. She tested at 0.19, more than twice the alcohol limit.

Pure speculation: Effort to shake down the 3 black men named?

[Carolinamom]

But the husband told Rita that they were married for 4 years.

I find it hard to believe he doesn't recall it.

Maybe he is one of the good guys. Seriously. I asked the other night if a cop knew the DA was going after someone who was not guilty were there ways they could "forget" things?

I asked in the context of the lineup. If all knew he was doing the lineup wrong, and they knew this was a bum rap, would they let him destroy his own case?

Who knows? Maybe he did have a vague recollection and tried to tell Nifong and Nifong said he was not interested.

If the watch doesn't match the cell phone timestamp, it's no big deal. Cell phone time is more reliable than the time on somebody's watch.

Meant to add--if he likes his job, he needs to be careful what he says publicly.

[maggief]

So she files the report 8/18/96 when she's engaged to McNeill and then enlists in the fall.

When did she marry, separate, and divorce?

Weird.

"The woman's parents told NBC17 that their daughter was attacked by the boy she was dating at the time and two of his friends. The three allegedly held her against her will in a house, raped her and threatened to kill her."

"Her parents said that she was so frightened at the time that she decided not to press charges. She lost a tremendous amount of weight the following week and BECAME SUICIDAL, blaming herself over what happened, so they took her to a psychiatrist, they said."

Later in the article the mother said her daughter "has not received any death threats".

Now THAT I could buy. But the police chief of a town of 2000 "forgetting" or "not recalling" a gang rape is tough to buy.

[Carolinamom]

More speculation: files rape charge against 3 black men in August, joins navy shortly thereafter because she's afraid of them and what they would do to her.

[maggief]

That would be McNeill, right?

Reached by WRAL after the news conference, Nifong said that he was not planning on dropping the case against the two Duke lacrosse players charged with rape.

Thanks for the link. From your source:

Durham police officer Brian Bishop, who interviewed the accuser in 1996 while working on the Creedmoor force, said Thursday he had a vague recollection of the report but couldn't remember any details.

Oh c'mon . How often do gang rapes occur in NC? Someone has to remember something. I think they're avoiding publicity or having to testify . Pure speculation on my part.

[maggief]

Never mind ... that was three years earlier.

Too many stories out there. :)
