The investigation of the “rape” should continue. Crystal Gail Mangum said that she was raped, and she had the DNA of several men on and in her body. Fortunately for the defendants, their DNA did not match that of the samples collected.
But the Durham PD and the States Attorney General still have the DNA profiles. It would be very illuminating to find out who these men are. Did they rape Mangum? Did they pay her for sex? Or did they help her to stage the incident so she could eventually sue?
As for the Group, of 88, the three vindicated Duke Lacrosse team manbers should DEMAND a public apology. If they do not receive one, they should hit them with a lawsuit that will leave the Group of 88 barefoot for life.

You may want to educate yourself by reading the DA’s final report on the alleged rape allegations, available on smoking gun. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0427071duke1.html
The DNA found on her has been identified as her then current boyfriend. Other DNA was not identified by name on the report but it’s obvious they were able to make some matches. All of the DNA found was well over 3 days old, making her claim of rape that night, or even the night, before a joke.
AS to the question was she raped, this is the second time she’s made the charge of “gang rape”. Over the years she’s made other accusations against people, all turned out to be false.
The newe DA determined that her ever changing stories, her ability to forget then remember people who were not and could not have been at the party, along with her prior history of false charges and varying statements to various peopleclearly shows the only rape that took place was possibly a cobweb in her brain that moved.
An interesting tid-bit, she did not mention an assault, even when asked, until she was placed under arrest for being intoxicated in public and taken to the hospital. Even then, she talked to various people, including law enforcement and hospital personel and said nothing.
It was not until the SANE Nurse; the one who testified against Nifong at his trial, asked her if she had been raped did she begin to make up a story. Even at the time, this same SANE Nurse indicated that her stories were inconsistent even for someone claiming to be raped. In fact, she testified at the trial that she had indicated to Nifong at the beginning of the investigation that Mangum’s story was not credible as she changed her story more then once that evening.
I want to see this girl prosecuted. Isn't she the one who said she wanted to 'make some money out of this?' It was a set-up from the git - go. They're saying it would serve no useful purpose to prosecute Mangum. I say BS...maybe it'll stop some these false rape claims across the country.
No-one should be above the law.
