HER name is Crystal Gail Man gum. She is the woman who falsely accused three Duke University students of rape. Yesterday, the attorney general of North Carolina came forward and flatly declared the three young men "innocent of these charges." That means their accuser is a liar. Her name is Crystal Gail Mangum. It is the policy of the news media not to publish the names of rape accusers on the grounds that they should not have to fear public shame for coming forward with word of a horrifying personal violation. That is a noble policy. But it needs a codicil. The codicil is that if a rape accuser is revealed as a liar, her name should be spoken loudly and often - as loudly and often as the names of those whom she falsely accused have been over the past year. Her name is Crystal Gail Mangum. She must be denied anonymity because she makes a mockery of the very policy of granting anonymity to rape accusers. We do not publish their names so that they will not fear public exposure. But people who are tempted to do the monstrous thing Mangum did should fear public exposure.

I had to look up his Imus/Elsa Lanchester mullet reference. Hilarious once I found out her most famous role was the Bride of Frankenstein.

So you would know it refers to a race rather than a color.
She’ll be on TV before the weekend is up; mark my words.
On Fox today, they finally showed the complete picture of her coming about the back door of the house.
She was SMILING.
There were no good guys in the whole sorry mess.
On one hand you had a bunch of young men who were raised with decent moral values who disregarded these values to hire this slut to perform God knows what kind of acts to titillate them.
And you have this sorry ass female who has NO self respect and is a liar and convicted criminal.
Sure,the rape charges were bogus and PC motivated by that Nifong idiot but these boys really need to do some kind of moral reappraisal of THEIR behavior that evening.
All those lyrics are over ten years old!
Way more common in rap nowadays is talking about”smoking a nigga”.
Whitey is almost irrelevant to most of the current crop of rappers.
She is actually a very attractive young woman if only she would smile.
Her UGLINESS is in her heart and in her mind and soul.And that type of ugliness rarely changes.
The incident you related was fairly common back in 1969.Things were WAY more racially tense than they are today and those of us who were there can attest to many similiar incidents.If you were white you always watched your back in the ghetto.The Man was a target.
It went both ways back then,however.I will never forget coming back to my classroom in New Orleans after a school remodeling job by a white construction crew and seeing slogans like KKK,White Power and F N-—— scrawled all over the blackboard.And every black adult I know now has THEIR share of horror stories about being abused by white racists back in those times.
These days are mellow compared to 1969.
“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is to the bone!”
I will be waiting to see which TV shows interview her...The View? Katie Couric? Oprah? ET? Matt Lauer? Oberman? Mathews?
You're right...Somebody will have her on. BTW where's Jakki? Where's the other stripper now? Vast silence from them.
Yep,ya got that right.
Sadly,way too many of these young women put way more attention to what is ON their heads than what is IN their heads.What happens is you have lots of these young females who are”fine”and thus get all this attention from men because of how they look.So they never have to develop any other survival skills and use thier brains and when their looks go they are really out in the cold with nothing.
I have had Fox on since I read that on another board. Remember when Abrams reported that he had seen the pictures and that she was smiling? For months, we’ve all been waiting to see those pictures without the blurred spot to protect Crystal’s precious identity.
When is someone going to post those pictures? I’m so ticked that I didn’t happen to have Fox on when they were shown.
The media is still fumbling around waiting for someone to tell them what the official party line is.
Let’s just hope the lying, criminal ho doesn’t get rich off some book deal.
Someone post a link!!!
This is important because I challenged Melanie Sill at the N&O on this almost a year ago.
Holey Moley —put your glasses on!
“Very attractive”????? ROTFL!!!!
Great post, alia. Thanks for it.
Duke DA Apologizes to Lacrosse PlayersState Bar Hearing Friday
By Tamara Gibbs
(04/12/07 — DURHAM) - The local prosecutor who charged three Duke lacrosse players with raping a stripper apologized Thursday, acknowledging the decision of state prosecutors to dismiss all charges against them was correct.
“I also understand that whenever someone has been wrongly accused, the harm caused by the accusations might not be immediately undone merely by dismissing them,” Nifong said. “It is my sincere desire that the actions of Attorney General Cooper will serve to remedy any remaining injury that has resulted from these cases.”
Nifong refused to answer any questions after handing the statement to an Associated Press reporter outside his office in Durham.
State Bar Hearing Set for Friday
District Attorney Mike Nifong is still in the fight for his job. Friday, the troubled prosecutor’s lawyers will try to convince the State Bar to drop some of the ethics charges against him.
Nifong’s official hearing isn’t until June, but his attorney’s will make oral arguments specifically relating to allegations he withheld DNA evidence.
The motion Nifong’s attorneys filed last month requested some of his ethics charges be dropped. The State Bar prosecutors fired back, dismissing his explanation for withholding DNA evidence. The debate will play out Friday during a hearing.
During a press conference Wednesday, Attorney General Roy Cooper scolded Nifong’s actions during the Duke lacrosse investigation. “There were many points in the case where caution would have served justice better than bravado,” Cooper said.
Nifong returned to work Thursday, but declined requests for an interview. His attorney, David Freedman, responded. “I would ask the same people who are accusing Mr. Nifong of rushing to judgment to not rush to judgment as well.”
Nifong has acknowledged he’s made several inappropriate comments to the media early on in the case. He’s said he never intended to mislead the public, but Friday DNA evidence will take center stage. Evidence Nifong’s lawyers say he handed over well before a trial date was set.
Defense attorney Joseph Chesire says he doubts that excuse will save the DA’s job and unblemished record until now. “His explanations for the DNA are kind of like the false accuser in this particular cases story. They are ever-evolving and ever-changing to meet the circumstances that are presented at the time,” Chesire said.
There’s a chance the State Bar could make a decision whether to dismiss some of the ethics charges during Friday’s hearing.
Councilman Thomas Stith says Nifong’s immediate resignation would be in his best interest and in the best interest of the community.
Duke law professor James Coleman says state Attorney General Roy Cooper’s criticism of Nifong yesterday made it clear the prosecutor had no basis to charge David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann.
