The woman who has accused three members of the Duke University lacrosse team of raping her at an off-campus party told investigators several different stories about the night of the alleged incident, sources close to the defense team representing the players have told FOX News.
...Regarding the 1,300 pages of evidence, sources told FOX News that the accuser allegedly did not tell the officer who met her at a supermarket after responding to a 911 call that she had been raped. Later, the woman told a doctor at a mental health facility that she had been sexually assaulted. She later denied that claim to a police officer when she arrived at the Duke hospital for care.
At least two sources also said there may be a discrepancy in the number of men the accuser says were involved.
The woman also originally claimed that a second dancer who accompanied her to the party, Kim Roberts, was inside the bathroom during the alleged rape, the sources said. The accuser claims she was assaulted and sodomized in that bathroom for about a half an hour and that she tried to fend off her attackers.
When police asked Roberts whether she was in the room at the time, Roberts reportedly told police, "that's a crock."
Defense sources also say the accuser admitted to having had sexual intercourse with at least three men around the time of the alleged attack. According to those sources, when investigators questioned her after DNA tests on the semen found inside her body did not match any of the Duke players, the accuser gave police the name of her boyfriend and two men who drove her to her dancing engagements.
She's been traumatized, that's why she's lying. And pigs fly. Women who have been raped do not have sex with other men immediately thereafter. This woman is a pathetic excuse for a human being. She is undermining the cases of other women who have actually been raped; she has unfairly bludgeoned the reputation of these boys--though they should be ashamed for being in the vicinity of a stripper in the first place; and she is wasting the revenue of the local taxpayers. She should be publicly reprimanded by all those who rallied to her side, and those who prematurely assumed guilt for the men involved owe the them apologies. This scum bag should also reimburse the taxpayers, and the DA, who obviously used a fraudulent case to secure re-election, should resign in disgrace.

Evidence in the records released by the DA:
When investigators questioned the stripper after DNA tests on the semen found inside her vagina and rectum didn’t match any of the Duke players, the stripper admitted to having had sex with at least three men around the time of the alleged rape. The stripper named her boyfriend and two men who drove her to Duke.
• When questioned, the “drivers” said they would drop her off at several places, including hotel rooms.
The parents of the boys should sue the stripper and the stripper's parents, then turn the debt over to collectors to hound them for the rest of their lives. The stripper should end up in jail for a couple of decades, and the DA's office and the city of Durham should pay all defense fees and damages done to each lacrosse player.
Lawyers are lurking in the shadows for lucrative civil suit
A man stands in the shadows of the Duke Lacrosse 'rape' case…watching and waiting. While the three wealthy white students remains in criminal court, he is not likely to step forward.
Even at this early stage, the stripper’s mother is "very much interested" in "getting Willie E. Gary is a litigator renowned for winning huge settlements.
The stripper’s parents met with Gary in April. The meeting was facilitated by civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Gary acts as a family adviser, and the parents are laying groundwork to make a civil bid. Public opinion can be a large bargaining chip in obtaining a lucrative settlement. Earlier, the parents spoke freely; now they’re being more media savvy.
Essence Magazine featured three articles by Kristal Brent Zook. Each is sympathetic to the accuser. (1st) "Family Defends Daughter's Painful Past", (2nd) "Nowhere to Turn," depicts the accuser as living in terror. (3rd) is basically an announcement of Willie Gary's appearance in the case; it concludes by stating that the parents "worry that their daughter may…need additional legal guidance."
Civil law deals in torts or harms inflicted by one person upon another; its purposes are compensation for actual or perceived damages.
A "guilty" verdict in criminal court can be used to establish liability in a civil one but if the verdict is "not guilty" or the charges are dropped, a civil case can proceed independently.
Kobe Bryant settled out-of-court settlement. Such settlements are not necessarily admissions of guilt. After months of media blitz, Bryant may have been embarrassed to settle, so civil suits could be lucrative even if the “accuser’s” claim is completely fabricated. The Duke students will face the same choice?
Civil suits can be lucrative, and they’re easier to win; standards of evidence and other legal protections enjoyed by a defendant are significantly lowered in civil court.
Clearly, her parents wish to explore a civil proceeding. Gary is conspicuously available.
Well said, both of you. I have nothing to add.
