The cousin of the alleged victim in the Duke University lacrosse rape case says “alums of Duke” quietly offered the accuser lots of money - a staggering $2 million – early on to drop the charges, and go on with her life.

“She told me they wanted her to make the case go away,” Jakki (she will not reveal her last name in order to protect her family), the designated family spokesperson, told The Carolinian and Wilmington Journal newspapers in an exclusive interview June 19.

However Jakki adds that her younger cousin, the Black woman at the center of the nation’s most controversial criminal case, refused because she insists that she was indeed beaten and sodomized by the three indicted white Duke lacrosse team members - Colin Finnerty, Reade Seligmann and David Evans - each charged with first-degree rape, first-degree sexual assault and first-degree kidnapping.

My cousin's sister's boyfriend who was dating the uncle of the mother's aunt's second nephew by marriage confirmed this. (just kidding, ya know)

It was obvious you wee kidding when there was no mention of a 'baby daddy', 'hair weaver' or 'the woman who does her nails'. Maybe this is true -- How much is Rearend Jessie Jackson putting up in cash for this woman's exploitation?

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

I think this is essentially what lawyers call a 'proffer.'

Just when I thought I'd seen every derivation of "Jackie"...

don't know about you guys, but I know my alma mater would definitely pony up two million in hush money if I raped and sodomized one of their townies.

For me,the unbelievable part isn't that the $$$ could have been offered,but that it was offered and she turned it down.

Classic!

Delusional African-American fairytale gets more detail. A woman of color is gang raped by 20 or 5 or 3 rich privileged white boys. Even her professional colleague Kim helped them do the deed. Then they came to bribe her, no small chump change mind you, two millions of dollars. But no, she want justice.

ROFLMAO

I was hoping someone would fall off their chair in hysterics the way I did. This story is so f'n ridiculous it's practically Weekly World News material. (Where's batboy?)

I think the full offer made to Crystal was 2 million dollars and the return of her shoe...

Telling a paper is one thing, swearing this under oath in a court of law is another.

Excellent!

More good change of venue material.

[Mr. Jeeves]

If anything it would be the other way around - the "victim" demanded $2 million to keep silent.

[Hogeye13]

H*ll must have frozen over. A whore turned down $2 mil.

H*ll must have frozen over. A whore turned down $2 mil.

She's planning a trip to Chappaqua, NY, she hears that the whores up there make the really big money.

[jsk10]

this is not hard to believe. I was offered $5 million by Duke not to post this note in reply to your post, but I turned it down. No, really.

[Nonstatist]

Cash Michaels is the worst bigot covering this case. He writes everywhere, and every thing he writes is demagoguery

If she didn't take an offer like that she's nuts.

If you've seen "her," then you've seen a derivation if there ever was one.
