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.

They should sue Nifong and the city for malicious prosecution
I checked the original source and sure enough -- ABC is putting "boyfriend" in quotes. Now what's that all about?
Isn't that because it's her mother saying it. Do you think she'd tell her mother it was a client?
Did he have anything interesting to say?
If so, then the Duke players are -- manifestly; inarguably -- INNOCENT.
Period. Full stop. End of sentence. End of paragraph. End of story.
And even if her story is false, CM will probably get a book deal like the Runaway Bride.
I just closed my eyes to envision her being picked up off the streets and walked through the police department. Heads pop up...Some do the "what's new" headshake, some do the "Well, we know whose office she'll wind up in" headshake.
I have a feeling the governor stepped in with a "Get Rid of Him. There isn't any choice and then YOU get your butt out of dodge...I don't give a damn. You are where you are because I put you there not because of your stupid case. I don't want this backflowing to my office".
But then, this is only my imagination searching for scenarios. Until that name OFFICIALLY comes out, and it will, it's just mind game time.
Yes, they were having a big old sale.
:-)
I laughed out loud and my mother thought I had lost my mind.
You get those looks too? My husband hears me in the study muttering and laughing to myself and wonders...
If this is true Shelayne, this "boyfriend" may have come to the attention of the investigators because they had to track the whereabouts of the A/V in the hours before she went the party. It is HIGHLY doubtful that she told the ANYONE that she had sex with this "boyfriend" before the party. Also, this makes sense that she did have sex with someone before the party, and it would tend to back up the SANE report. If she had sex, and if she had some scrapes and bruises, would it not be consistent with "rape trauma?" The SANE report would be consistent, but it hurts her story (what doesn't?) if she claimed that she hadn't had sex for two weeks.
alledged victim?? is that your wording??
You was WAY ahead of the game!
TOLD YA! Said it was her boyfriend all along.
Or her pimp.
It's really pahtetic when my own dogs run out of the FROG, isn't it?
Yeah - that's pretty bad!
I tried to explain to my husband why I was laughing so hard about your dryer and sheet problem, but I think it was one of those "You just had to be there" moments.
Yeah!!! New thread!
But the old one was just getting good!
LOL. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.
Did he give some more info? I'm just dying here!
