abc7.com

Crystal Mangum, who falsely accused three Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006, has admitted her claims were untrue. In a podcast interview, she expressed regret for her actions and acknowledged the harm caused to the players. Mangum stated she fabricated the story for validation and betrayed the trust of those who believed her. The players were later declared innocent after a thorough investigation found no evidence supporting her claims. The case had significant media coverage and led to the disbarment of the prosecutor who supported Mangum. Despite her admission, no charges were filed against her for the false accusations.
