The victim, a single mom who turned to exotic dancing to support her two kids, attends North Carolina Central University, a mostly black college in Durham.

She plans to keep a low profile until the students go on trial to avoid inflaming tensions in the black community, where opinion is running heavily against the privileged students.

One of the most hurtful things for the woman about the media circus surrounding the case, the cousin said, is the tendency to assume the worst about her because she is a stripper.

"She's a victim and she's a human being," the cousin said. "Her occupation couldn't justify that a crime like this was committed."

Privileged students = guilty?

"She's a victim and she's a human being," the cousin said. "Her occupation couldn't justify that a crime like this was committed."

It shouldn't matter BUT it does, no single mother should be out doing this kind of job. Have some respect for yourself and your children.

She gives one on one lap dances. She stole a car, fled from the police and when cornered she tried to run down the officer.

Yes, she's a student. And a criminal, a slut, and most likely a liar too.

[butternut_squash_bisque]

Stripper = liar, whore, skank, druggie etc etc etc.

Tawana Brawley Redux, IMO.

"The victim, a single mom who turned to exotic dancing to support her two kids,..."

Yeah, it's for the children.

[Coldwater Creek]

And the Dukies are real saints????????

[ladyjane]

... forced the woman, who is black, to stay with different friends almost every night

Considering her occupation as an escort, wasn't she doing that before the alleged incident?

[Tony O]

I think I saw her ex-husband being interviewed a couple of days ago on TV. He was apologizing for her occupation. I wonder if he is paying child support.

They have not been proven sinners yet either. No DNA evidence says a lot the way I look at it.

"I wonder if he is paying child support."

He is, even if it is only indirectly....along with the other taxpaying citizens of North Carolina.

[EyeGuy]

Ah.....the IdiotLiberal buzzword "hurtful".

For me, a world-class soporific, matched only by "inclusiveness", "social justice" and "diversity."

[Paloma_55]

"exotic dancing"...

Funny how the MSM twists things.

How about "Stripping".

Anyone who has watched one of these "dances" knows that it does not involve a lot of skill, just nudity and motions that are naturally provocative.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Last night on OReilly, there was a former prosecutor who had spoke with the local police who said they had witness statements supporting the charge that she was extremely intoxicated before going to the Duke party.

He also said that the police have other conflicting accounts that cast doubts on the credibility of the victim.

He is still in disbelief that charges were filed and said the only logical reason is political.

[mlc9852]

LOL - except now she isn't being paid for it!

[Joe Brower]

Hey, what's Mr. Incredible got to do with this whole sordid affair?

He's a good, upstanding family man!

[Bon mots]

The stripper initially felt "very discouraged" after DNA evidence last week failed to implicate any of the lacrosse players.

Who needs evidence if it's a woman's word against a mans!
This is not Saudi Arabia or Iran. Women have rights here!
All they have to do is accuse!

Lock those priveliged students up and throw away the key! Let her get back on with her life of stripping, drinking, turning tricks and running down cops.

I thought it most interesting that in Durham, North Carolina yesterday, a young man was released on $50,000 bail after being charged with Capitol Murder! The Dukies were released on $400,000 bail each on a rape charge. Wow, only in Durham can you kill and walk, but if you are accused of rape, you are really screwed! Wonder what bail is on a jay-walking charge? $2,500,000 or more? Folks up there are crazy as loons.
