Duke Rape Charges Dropped
Remember that whole Duke rape thing? It was THE story of the world, both sporting and non-, and now finally it has breathed it's last, putrid, wimpering breath. Hopefully.
Prosecutors have dropped the rape charges against the three Duke students involved, though the charges of kidnap and sexual offense remain intact. But, you know, what's a little kidnapping and sexual offense? My motto's always been, "No rape? No problem."
So what exactly happened? Weren't those kids, like, definitely guilty? The accuser has changed her mind, apparently.
According to court papers filed Friday by district attorney Mike Nifong, the accuser told a prosecution investigator on Thursday that she now does not know if she was penetrated during the alleged attack.
Of course it's always tough to tell when someone has, you know, forced themselves inside of you. I can totally understand the confusion, especially all these months later. "Oops! You're right, guys, you didn't rape me. My mistake!"
The real crime of it? The sullied reputation of the accuser's cousin. That's what happens when you put your name on the line for family. But, hey, think of it this way: over-priviliged white kids get their way once again! Up top with an e-high five!
Comments
Crystal Gail Mangum, who isn’t a rape victim, claimed in graphic detail that she was gang raped vaginally, orally, and anally by three men in a bathroom - medical and police evidence never supported such a claim, yet Mike Nifong rail roaded three innocent boys, destroyed their reputations, and dragged this case out for almost a year. Ms. Mangum swore under oath months ago that she was 100% sure that two of the boys raped her and 90% sure that the other one raped her. Crystal destroyed the lives of innocent boys and Mike Nifong had a great part in the propogation of this rape lie. They both deserve prison time

You know what, everyone? I agree. It's ridiculous that the word "rape" has become sacred, irrefutable, and automatic grounds for persecution. If you even think of questioning the accuser, you yourself are continuining his/her "victimization." I'd like to see stats on the result of rape cases in America. How many are dropped, how many people are actually found guilty, etc.

The stripper’s body was completely void of any sign of a sexual assault, the innocent boys were devoid of any scratches, bruising, or marks, and the alleged crime scene was completely devoid of DNA that would be expected in a violent gang rape.
It is impossible that a crime scene with three drunk men in a small enclosed room with a fighting and clawing woman being orally, virginally, and anally penetrated not leave any DNA evidence of urine, blood, vaginal fluid, sweat, fecal matter, scat smears, saliva, tears, or semen... especially if condoms were used. How would they take off the condoms during all this chaos without spilling, smearing, or touching the content inside or outside of the condom?
When investigators questioned the stripper after DNA tests on the semen from multiple men found inside her vagina and rectum didn’t match any of the Duke players on the entire lacrosse team, the stripper admitted to having had sex with at least three men around the time of the alleged rape including her boyfriend and two men who drove her to Duke.
The DA Mike Nifong didn’t talk to the prostitute about your wild claims of gang rape, in which she described in great detail, claiming no finders or any other objects were used to penetrate her, yet Nifong did conspire with the DNA lab owner to hide evidence that proves the three victims of this lie are innocent.
I do agree with that because of Rape Shield laws, these boys, who are obviously innocent can still be found guilty. Between 1985 and 1995 35% of innocent men sent to prison for rape, were found innocent through DNA testing, but today’s “victim’s advocacy groups” want to use DNA only to convict anyone, while ignoring all DNA evidence that proves the self-proclaimed “rape-shielded” accuser is lying about being raped.

It's like the new word for witch hunt! Anyone who yells rape gets instant sympathy, while the guy accused is suppose to do the honorable thing and walk quietly to the burning stake.

The REAL crime is this when a woman is really raped people will say "Oh no another DUKE RAPE VICTIM" and smirk. It seems to me that when the rape shield law is used to falsely accuse then the accuser should be liable to charges of PERJURY and Libel/Slander etc charges as well. But its the same old story, and until we as a people demand that ALL rape is investigated and justice done we will have quite a bit to rape. Example of rapes ignored? Well in the prison system rape is a invisable crime, I have heard women say "Send him to jail and let him get raped" well wake up baby, if a male is rapeing another male whether its one on one or gang rape then how much harder is it going to be to rape women? after all some women may be strong enough to fight off one rapist. However the boys getting thier training in prison system merely need get 2 or 3 and no matter how strong the woman is shes going to give it up one way or the other. But no one cares and the rapist school goes on and on.
