LET THE LIAR BE NAMED & SHAMED
NY Post ^ | 4/12/07 | John Podhoretz

Posted on 04/12/2007 6:05:36 AM PDT by NYC Republican

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 We do not publish their names so that they will not fear public exposure.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.

The AG said yesterday that they believe that CGM actually believes all her various shifting stories, and he mentioned the term “records under seal.” My guess is that they have psych evaluations for Mizz Mangum that show her to have Vey Series Issues. Maybe not crazy or mentally ill in the “not guilty by reason of insanity” sense, but issues. This is a woman that, ten years ago, accused another group of boys of rape, and that case was never prosecuted either.

Basically, she’s a mess. I don’t think that should excuse her from paying the penalty for what she’s done, but between the backlash that prosecuting her would cause here (the “community leaders” would go nuts), and the fact that at least some of the families don’t want her indicted either, I guess the Powers That Be have decided it’s not worth it.

I think the Duke Lacrosse players should be prosecuted for even considering paying money to see that hideous “thing”, and then given more charges for then considering wanting to “do any deeds” with her. That is the real crime.

Let me guess the Durham Herald-Sun’s headline...”Duke lacrosse players escape due to money and privilege, Durham community leaders outraged”?

At his press conference yesterday, Attorney General Roy Cooper said something odd about the liar Crystal Gail Mangum. He said she would face no charges for her false accusation.

Justice has been denied.

I was falsely accused of stealing some years ago by a neighbor. He flat out lied to the police. Eventually it was proven that he was a liar (he was not only a liar, but also an idiot) and I was cleared. He was never charged or punished in any way by the system. I was told by a police officer that had I not been such a “sweet housewife” that it might have ended up much worse. (Lovely... “roll eyes”) It was very traumatic for me to be falsely accused (even of a minor crime), and I have no sympathy for such folks. It’s scary how just one persons accusation can cause so much trouble.

I clicked on the link provided, and did not see a picture of Crystal Gail Mangum. Do you have a link to the pic?

It's on the NY Posts's home page.

The website is screwy.

It's on the Post's main page, not the article page.

I did, the image is of Attorney Gen Roy Cooper.

I did the same thing - followed the article link. You actually have to go to nypost.com - the root site address with nothing after it to see the pic on the 'front page'.

I think she will be found face down in a ditch. She knows too
much about the inner circles in Durham.

Yep. Maybe Georgia can go on tour with her & tell us how it all happened in the back of her mind.

Moose, I agree she has “mental health issues” but that doesnt mean that she’s not a manipulative liar. Nor does it mean that she did not know precisely what she was doing when she made up this BS story. I am convinced she did and that this was more a matter of shrewdness than delusion.

She told the investigator that when the police came they said they were taking her to a lockup because she was drunk. I believe she made up the rape story so they would take her to a hospital instead. With her rap sheet, another entry on it could have had serious implications. I doubt she wanted social workers visiting to make sure she is a fit mother.

Also, it’s very hard to believe it mere coincidence that of all the players she had to chose from, she managed to pick three from the top seven wealthiest areas of the country represented on the team.

I think this is a political decision to avoid arousing the wrath of an important constituency.
