Crystal Mangum, the former exotic dancer who accused three Duke men’s lacrosse players of rape in 2006, igniting a national firestorm, now says she lied about the encounter.
“I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t, and that was wrong. And I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me,” Mangum said on the web show “Let’s Talk with Kat,” hosted by Katerena DePasquale.
The interview took place at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women, where Mangum is serving time for a 2013 second-degree murder conviction for stabbing her boyfriend.
“I made up a story that wasn’t true because I wanted validation from people and not from God,” Mangum said.
On the podcast, she said she hopes the three men will forgive her.
“I want them to know that I love them, and they didn’t deserve that, and I hope that they can forgive me,” she said.

But paid little in consequences for what they di!
She’s in jail now. If this is her truly repenting, good for her. Better late than never. But a parole hearing also may be coming up . . . .
Looking/preparing for a parole. Nothing more.
Statue of limitations?
My bet is she’s up for parole and wants to look like she’s had a changed heart.

If they hadn’t been from wealthy families who could afford the best legal council they would have been screwed.
Oh, NOW it’s starting to make sense.
Same as E Jeanne Carroll and Blassey Ford.
Reminds me of those old news story memories when the Manson family was in jail after many years and all were coming out with statements they were born again Christians...
and Charlie, knowing they were up for parole, kinda wrecked it by saying they were born again Christians BEFORE.

The lie is a powerful weapon. With a media willing to amplify the lie, it is a formidable force.
“...parole hearing also may be coming up.”
That thought has crossed my mind as well.
