Oh boy, her dad now remembers?
Well, there is the false allegation. She waited three years to file a rape report even though she was not raped?

Duke lacrosse accuser had made similar report
Mayor defends ending festival

The woman who says she was raped by three members of the Duke University lacrosse team may have made a similar rape claim 10 years ago in the neighboring town of Creedmoor, authorities confirmed Thursday.
The woman made the report on Aug. 18, 1996, when she was 18. She told police she was 14 when three men attacked her in Creedmoor, said Police Chief Ted Pollard.
From the archived paper records that he checked Thursday, Pollard said it didn't appear that there were any arrests.
Pollard confirmed the name and birth date of the woman who made the report matches the woman who is now at the center of the rape investigation at Duke. Police last week charged two lacrosse players, Collin Finnerty, 19, and Reade Seligmann, 20, with rape and kidnapping on the woman's accusations.
Contacted by phone Thursday, the accuser's father said his daughter made the report to police after she was held against her will by a group of men who had picked her up from school and driven her to Creedmoor.
The man said he became concerned when his daughter, who was living in Durham at the time, did not return from school. The girl was located in a house in Creedmoor, her father said. She was not sexually assaulted or injured in the incident, he said.
"They didn't do anything to her," he said.

I am more confused than ever....I thought the mother said they did not tell the father........I'm going to bed...

Huh? Is he saying she was kidnapped in 1996, and then alleged that her captors raped her in 1993?
I wonder if that could be used as evidence the past complaint was in fact false?
Yes...very interesting comment from dad....
Mom and dad are like Nifong....just can't keep their mouths shut...the defense might just sleep a little better tonight.
They can't get their stories straight.

The woman's father said Thursday his daughter was not raped in the 1996 incident.
"They didn't do anything to her," he said.
The father said his daughter was held against her will by a group of men who had picked her up from school in Durham and drove her to Creedmoor. She was not sexually assaulted or injured in the encounter, he said, and she was returned home safely the same day.
The 1996 accusation came to light Thursday after Essence.com, the Web site of Essence, a lifestyle magazine, reported in a news update that the accuser's mother had said her daughter was raped by several men in Creedmoor when she was a teenager. When contacted by The News & Observer on Thursday, the mother said the magazine misrepresented her comments. She refused to elaborate on what her daughter had reported to the Creedmoor police.
"I'm not going to tell you anything," the mother said.
