So...is this what's called a false accusation?
That's what I'd call it but I will bet you a shiny new dime that no one will ever be charged with such a crime.

According to Wendy McElroy, those false accusations are more comman than people think, and almost never prosecuted. Imagine the screams if it were...NOW would be apoplectic over it because it would 'discourage women who were really raped from reporting the crime'...

RALEIGH, N.C. - A second round of DNA testing in the Duke University lacrosse rape case came back with the same result as the first — no conclusive match to any member of the team, defense attorneys said Friday.

Attorney Joseph Cheshire, who represents a team captain who has not been charged, said the tests showed genetic material from a "single male source" was found on a vaginal swab taken from the accuser, but that material did not match any of the players.

DURHAM, N.C. -- A second exotic dancer in the Duke University sexual assault case told police early in their investigation that the accuser was out of her sight for only five minutes that night and that her allegations were a "crock," according to a court papers filed Thursday.

The statement by Kim Roberts is cited in a filing by lawyers for Reade Seligmann, 20, one of three team members charged in the case.

According to a March 20 statement written by a Durham police investigator, Roberts "stated that she heard that [the accuser] was sexually assaulted, which she stated is a 'crock' and she stated that she was with her the whole time until she left."

The defense lawyers argue that prosecutors omitted that statement when they got court permission in March to obtain photographs and DNA samples from team members.

District Attorney Mike Nifong's office declined to comment Thursday on the defense allegations.

Both women had been hired to perform at the party as exotic dancers.

The prosecutor is gonna lose his license. Old news.

This though, is entertaining
The Duke players should be prosecuted "whether it happened or not," a student at North Carolina Central University, a mostly black college, told Newsweek a few weeks after the March incident. "It would be justice for things that happened in the past."

from a Clarence Page editorial.

Now that the team got screwed, the parents put out money for no reason & the boys are scarred for life...

The remaining charges against three Duke University lacrosse players originally indicted for rape may be dropped sometime within the next few days, according to a report.

Alright. These boys not only were not guilty, they were innocent. Who's gonna pay for their legal bils? Good, hard earned (or willed form rich Uncle Joe) money was spent for no reason whatsoever.

Is she still being offered that scholarship?
