I just saw this story and thought I would post the link here, instead of LBN, for discussion. The woman who accused the three Duke Lacrosse players of rape in 2006, Crystal Mangum (her name is stated in the AP story), has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend, Reginald Daye.

Earlier today we were discussing sexual harassment and sexual assault cases and how these cases are handled by universities (specifically Yale).

Excerpt from the AP story:

RALEIGH, N.C. – The woman who falsely accused three Duke lacrosse players of raping her in 2006 was charged Monday with murder in the death of her boyfriend.

Crystal Mangum, 32, was indicted on a charge of first-degree murder and two counts of larceny. She has been in jail since April 3, when police charged her with assault in the stabbing of 46-year-old Reginald Daye. He died after nearly two weeks at a hospital.

An attorney for Mangum did not return a call seeking comment. The district attorney's office declined to discuss the case.
