ACTUAL E-MAIL ------------------ Hi! My name is Kim and I am involved in the Duke Lacrosse scandal. Although I am no celebrity and just an average citizen, I've found myself in the center of one of the biggest stories in the country. I'm worried about letting this opportunity pass me by without making the best of it

Well before the scandal, the nationally ranked team had a reputation for a swaggering sense of entitlement and boorish frat-boy behavior that included public intoxication and public urination. After the scandal broke, the university announced an investigation into whether it put up with such behavior for too long.

DURHAM, N.C. -- The woman who has accused members of the Duke University men's lacrosse team of raping her at a party last month "definitely was under some sort of substance" after leaving the party, according to a second woman at the party. . . .In an exclusive interview with NBC17, a second woman who also danced at the March 13 party refuted claims made in recent days by defense attorneys that the accuser was intoxicated and injured when she arrived at the party. "She looked absolutely fine," the second dancer said, noting that the accuser's demeanor changed dramatically after...

In other developments, a defense attorney for one of players says he knows who made the 911 call the night of the alleged gang rape. "We're absolutely positive the caller was not the accuser, but the other young lady there," Cheshire said. Cheshire said witnesses have talked to the woman and a comparison of audio tapes proves the caller was the second dancer at the party, but Durham police say they do not know who called.

Accuser's Criminal Record. Another web-site said that her license has been suspended 3 times Also. Joe Cheshire, who represents co-captain Dave Evans, told reporters he is certain the call was made by the SECOND DANCER, whose identity has not yet surfaced publicly. The caller alternatively told a police dispatcher the pair were driving and walking past the house. My comments: This is something I believed from day one and it can be demonstrated by using the police report (2 min response to first 911 call) and the neighbor's statement. It's also fishy that police said today that it took the...

"The woman told her father that she had been dancing at a party and that someone had hit her. It wasn't until the next day the woman told her father she had been raped, he said."
