For those of you who don’t know about this case.
3 college students were accused of one of the most horrific crimes imaginable: GANG RAPE.
In 2006, a woman accused three Duke lacrosse players of pulling her into a bathroom, restraining her, and sexually assaulting her at a team party.
Then the case collapsed.
DNA evidence did not link the accused players to the alleged assault. The charges were dismissed, and North Carolina’s attorney general took the extraordinary step of declaring all three men innocent.
The prosecutor was later disbarred over his handling of the case.
Then, in 2024, the accuser publicly admitted that she had fabricated the story.
A devastating accusation. Three innocent men. And a case that became a warning about what happens when an allegation is treated as a verdict.
