Good question

I come from a small town of 5000. A rape by three individuals would be the biggest news to ever hit the town. Creedmore had 2000.

I can give him the benefit of the doubt, because the case was not pursued, therefore, it was a person filing a complaint and that's it.
I am sure if there had been an investigation and charges brought the officer might remember it more clearly.

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.
