Crystal Mangum reveals reason she lied about being raped by three Duke lacrosse players
The woman at the center of the Duke University lacrosse rape case has finally admitted she lied when she accused three young men of sexual assault in 2006.
Crystal Mangum, from Durham, North Carolina, came under the spotlight in 2006 when she accused the trio of gang raping her during a party where she was hired as a stripper.
The 46-year-old mother-of-three is currently in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder for stabbing her boyfriend with a kitchen knife in 2011.
It was from prison where she spoke to Let's Talk with Kat, an independent content creator who released an interview with her Thursday.
