A woman said Friday that Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, who was recently accused of sexual assault, had raped her nearly two decades earlier.
A lawyer for the woman, Meredith Watson, made the accusation in a statement that also called upon Fairfax to resign from office. This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.
Basketball is king at Duke.
They might bring charges against the player now. No statute of limitations. Wonder if he ever played pro?
We are a college basketball family. You took the words right out of my mouth. Basketball is king there.
Doubtful anything would happen. Was coach k there then?
Yes. He’s been there since 1980.
The alleged rape happened in 1989 or 1990.
The basketball player?
There were only 12 players on the roster those years. That’s when Christian Leittner played. Loved watching him.
I believe Fairfax was 2000.
B-ball was year before.
So 1999.

That makes more sense.
4 players drafted to NBA that year.
But was it 1998 -1999 or 1999 -2000?
There is a Meredith james Watson. 39 yrs old. Attended Duke. Attended Bryn mar school all girls. Lots of liens, eviction bad rep score. AA Could be her. Can’t find photo.
Not 100%. The report said 2000 was the alleged rape. Fairfax knew she wouldn’t go to authorities because of what had happened the year before with a basketball player. Allegedly. So 1998 or 1999.
One of the reports said, in error, allegation was for 2004. But Wimi shows he wasn’t at Duke by then and rbs 2nd accusers’ lawyer says 2000.
Let’s not speculate with specific names. Don’t ant to get into the MAGA hat kid lawsuit territory!
Will be interesting to see if she accuses both or just Fairfax.
Someone who knows how to just needs to find the yearbook name photo.
The lawyer told public her nane.
Last night duke said they will investigate. Does this mean investigate the basketball player they did nothing about? Why doesnt Watson name the player. How is one rape different than another??
Just reread usa today article
Duke spokesperson said that are investigating these allegations.
The accuser said she went to a dean at the school and was not helped.
Title 9!
Only 6 years before the duke party. But it was basketball not lacrosse.
Robert Thompson was dean of trinity college at duke 1999 to 2004.
