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 We do not publish their names so that they will not fear public exposure.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 predict Oprah.
This was not the first time this woman leveled charges that were subsequently found to be unsubstantiated. People like that are just as much a danger and should be prosecuted, IMO.
The link below works and a click on the ho’s picture will bring up the story.

Sharpton and Jackson will help her get a book deal.
I’ll bet you are both correct. Ugh.
Crystal is not being prosecuted because:
she knows too much,
Durham is totally corrupt,
Durham’s leaders want to keep it that way,
the AG is scared to death of offending the black community of Durham.
It is no accident that they waited for a cold rainy Wednesday to make their pronouncement.
Thanks!
LOL, OK, yeah, sure.
I don’t think it’a the weather. I think it’s coming on the heels of the Imus controversy, sorta under the radar, or that’s what they hoped.
..and in light of the 'hands off'/forgiveness attitude from the DA and the parents...
...then she should lose ALL protection and be hauled in, cuffed and jailed afterall.
What an ugly, ugly thing she is.
I think that’s called a sure thing
No AG in his right mind would make an announcement like this on a Friday afternoon with temperatures in the 80’s. IMO
The elephant in the room: Only half the DNA samples have been analyzed. In that batch up to 9 different donors were uncovered although not all complete samples. Could that add up to 18 different donors?
The other elephant. The missing police chief. The elephant that didn’t bark.
What case??? When is it EVER okay to accuse three - not one, but three! - men of the utmost crime against a woman??? WHEN???
How long do you think this girl is going to sit around hearing people just as good as say she’s crazy?
I doubt very long.
Tick tock...
I agree with you; don’t you usually charge somebody and THEN let their lawyers say they’re crazy?
I’ve certainly never heard of it being done this way; it’s backwards.
I had a different take. I think she realized when she was “dancing” for the rich white boys she had an opportunity to accuse them of rape and file a civil suit against them for big bucks. Even if the criminal charges couldn’t stand because of a higher standard of proof, she’d get a big payoff from the parents of the students, as others have before her - get the accusation on record and make some big bucks for yourself. When she realized that it wasn’t just going to be he said/she said and that there was real evidence that disproved her story, she found herself in real trouble. I think this whole “batshit crazy” woman is a smokescreen to keep herself from a criminal indictment for false charges and a lawsuit for slander.
I know I’m cynical, it’s what working in the law biz will do for you.
I agree. I think she should be prosecuted, but quite probably, the AG (remember—he IS a Rat, and he DOES have his sights set on higher office someday) doesn’t want to rock the boat. If CGM was brought up on charges of lying to the police, there would be a national crapstorm over it—Al Sharpton would take time out from attempting to destroy free speech in America to denounce the unfair, racist justice system in North Carolina, Je$$e would be marching in the streets of Durham proclaiming loudly that it’s 1961 (or, hell, maybe 1861) all over again...you know. Roy Cooper and the Powers That Be down here are not going to put themselves through that. They’re intimidated. I don’t think they’ve got the stomach to go after her.
Locally, at this point, everybody is in “let’s forget this ever happened” mode. The “community leaders,” the Duke University community, pretty much the entire Durham/Triangle area. They all want it to just go away. It shouldn’t go away. Not until Crystal Gail Mangum and Mike Nifong and the “community leaders” and the Gang of 88 and Al and Jesse and Nancy Grace and all the others who tried to railroad those three young men are forced to apologize for it. But it sure doesn’t seem like anybody’s got the strength left to push for that.
