Crystal Mangum Admits to Fabricating Rape Allegation Against Duke Lacrosse Players

Crystal Mangum, the woman who falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape in 2006, has publicly admitted for the first time that she fabricated the story. In a recent interview on the "Let’s Talk with Kat" podcast, Mangum confessed, saying she “made up a story that wasn't true” about the white players who were present at a party where she was hired to perform as a stripper.

Mangum explained her motives, stating, “I wanted validation from people and not from God.” She expressed remorse for her actions, saying, “I want them to know that I love them and they didn’t deserve that.”

The case garnered national attention and had significant implications for the players involved, as well as for the broader discussion around race, justice, and sexual assault accusations. Durham-based podcaster Kat DePasquale reached out to Mangum to discuss the case, which ultimately led to this candid conversation.
