The Black female victim is an NCCU sophomore, former Navy veteran and mother of two children. The full-time student worked for an escort service, which is legal, to make a living.
The night of the rape incident was first time she had ever done exotic dancing at a party. She was told she and another dancer would be performing for only 5 men. The women were surprised to see over 40 White men who, according to neigbors, had been drinking.
While inside, the White men became rowdy and started hurling racial slurs at them, the victim told the local newspaper. They became frightened but was coaxed back to finish performing.
If athletes from "HBCU's" like NCCU were accused of gang raping a White female student from Duke, they would be answering questions from a jail cell.
It was then she was allegedly dragged into the bathroom , beaten , choked and sodomized by 3 White men. Hours later, she was taken to a Durham hospital traumatized by the experience.
"My father came to see me in the hospital," she told the local newspaper. " I knew if I didn't report it that he would have that hurt forever, knowing that someone hurt his baby and got away with it."

Two days after team gave DNA samples, they were seen in a bar drinking and shouting " Duke Lacrosse"!
There are plenty of stories for conservative media to write about team without having to dig. Most stories are about victim discredit her, but have nothing to do with the case.

Could it be they are not reporting on her side of the story because there so many holes in it that swiss cheese feels substandard.
So they got DNA evidence back that supports their claim that they did not do this, and they go out and celebrate a bit. Is that so wrong.

Lawless said this in post #12 : I don't know... then again, do you? After all, if you were proven INNOCENT of something, you would celebrate too. Isn't that what OJ did?
OJ was proven INNOCENT after a long public trial. Duke players innocence has been decided in the court of conservative opinion.
Let the Duke players go to trial and let the evidence make the decision.
RALEIGH, N.C. - DNA testing in the Duke lacrosse rape case found genetic material from several males in the accuser's body and her underwear — but none from any team member, defense attorneys said in court papers Wednesday.
The papers were filed by attorneys for the three lacrosse players charged, Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans. They complained that the information about DNA from other men was not disclosed in a report prosecutors provided earlier this year to the defense.
The testing was conducted at a private laboratory for the prosecution.
"This is strong evidence of innocence in a case in which the accuser denied engaging in any sexual activity in the days before the alleged assault, told police she last had consensual sexual intercourse a week before the assault, and claimed that her attackers did not use condoms and ejaculated," the defense said.
In an interview, defense attorney Joseph Cheshire said the findings suggest the accuser had sex shortly before the March team party where she was hired to perform as a stripper. The woman has said three lacrosse team members gang-raped her in a bathroom at the party.
District Attorney Mike Nifong did not immediately return a call for comment.
The trial is not expected to start until the spring.
I'd bet someone raped her, it's just a case of finding who exactly those 3 men were... it's an easy mistake for her to think they were on the lacrose team, though, as the part seems to be for the team. Hope somebody gives up the guys who did it, though.
