Crystal Mangum, who falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape in 2006, publicly admitted for the first time that her story was a lie. In a podcast interview, she expressed regret for her actions. Mangum, currently incarcerated for a separate crime, stated she fabricated the allegations for validation. The players were declared innocent in 2007 after the case fell apart, with no evidence supporting Mangum's claims. The former players reached a settlement with Duke University in 2007. Mangum expressed hope for forgiveness from the men, acknowledging the lasting impact of her false accusations.
