Duke lacrosse accuser arrested
Updated at 11:41 AM today

DURHAM (WTVD) -- Police say former Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Mangum was arrested again overnight.

Authorities say Mangum was arrested Saturday night and is being charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit robbery and inflicting serious injuries.

Mangum is being held at the Durham County Jail with no bond. She will make her first apperance in court on Monday.
Police have not released any further information on the arrest.

Mangum is the Durham woman best known for accusing members of the Duke lacrosse team of rape in 2006. The players were later exonerated and the charges against them dropped.

In February, police charged Mangum with attempted murder, arson, and child abuse after a domestic dispute with her boyfriend.

Shouldn't the artcle say the Petite, Sweet, Soft-Spoken Crystal Mangum was arrested AGAIN....?

I am tiring of this wholly unfair Press.

Hey, it's Just like a Video I just saw:

(please excuse the cheap plug)

Why, they would have us believe that she acts as thuggish as her Fan club (Friends of Crystal Mangum).

Nah, I don't believe it.

She's a grad from NCCU and is doing postgraduate work in police psychology, isn't she?

Just damn. Now the NandO will have to do some reporting and perhaps also report on Beaty's decision of last Thursday.

What a headache to hand to Tracey Cline this early in the day...

(btw, this woman has a long HISTORY of run-ins with the law; the false Duke charges
weren't the first by any means; nor, obviously, was that the last.

I don't know why the media, which had all these facts on archive, didn't know
all this and print the facts about her instead of letting her be portrayed
as a simple, sweet college student who had never danced before men before...

To quote someone who posted this before "Mangum is the gift that keeps on giving."

Yes, and she's being held in the Durham County Jail as we speak.

Back where she belongs.

Summa cum loony

guest column
By: Kristin Butler
Issue date: 5/15/08


Kristin Butler


It seems anyone can get a college degree these days-especially if they go to North Carolina Central University.

Standards of integrity there have long been dismal: This is, after all, the school that gave violent felon Solomon Burnette a diploma in 2007. Burnette, you may recall, robbed two Duke students at gunpoint in 1997.

After finishing a 13-month prison sentence, he had the audacity not only to enroll in Arabic classes on our campus in April 2007; Burnette also penned a column I and many others interpreted as inciting physical violence against white Dukies in his student newspaper.

Unfortunately, however, 2008 marks a new low... even for NCCU.

Just this month, the university graduated Crystal Mangum, the drug-addled, mentally unstable prostitute who falsely accused three lacrosse players of raping her two years ago.

Mangum is an accomplished liar and criminal, and a credible school shouldn't have allowed her within 50 miles of its graduation ceremony.

(snip)

Unsurprisingly, those actions constitute flagrant violations of NCCU's honor code, which prohibits: "lewd, indecent or obscene conduct (whether public or private)"; "violation of the alcohol policy, including binge drinking, use or personal possession of alcoholic beverages by undergraduate students;" and the real doozie, "knowingly making in public a false [oral or] written or printed statement with the intent to deceive and/or mislead or injure the character or reputation of another."

NCCU also touts itself as a "drug-free academic community," a claim that's hard to take seriously when one of the college's own students admits to turning tricks and getting high four or five nights per week. In fact, Mangum had overdosed on flexeril and booze when she was first picked up by police the night of March 14.

And that's what makes Mangum's latest milestone so infuriating: It demeans the accomplishments of thousands of hard-working, law-abiding Eagles who also graduated this May.

A Duke student committing even a fraction of those crimes would have been summarily expelled; being accused of them would be enough for an emergency suspension.

Because of the university's blatant refusal to enforce its own rules, I will never again take an NCCU degree seriously, and neither should any other self-respecting Dukie. NCCU's "seal of approval" no longer guarantees good character, and it's just too hard to tell the thugs and liars (like Burnette and Mangum) apart from the high-performing majority.

(snip)

Still, NCCU's actions are morally bankrupt and far eneath the dignity of a nationally recognzed university. The damage that NCCU has done to its reputation is very serious, and it insults thousands of upstanding alumni.

With three kids, a nasty drug habit and psychiatric and criminal histories longer than my arm, Crystal Mangum probably needs all the good fortune she can get. But until she owns up to her malicious lies, she deserves no special favors-least of all from a publicly funded university.

Crystal Mangum is not a victim, and her actions meant two other former members of the Class of 2008 (their names are Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty, for the record) didn't graduate last weekend. Mangum's lies stole a year of their college careers, and it makes me sick to think of her celebrating her achievement while they (along with millions of legitimate rape victims harmed by her dishonesty) struggle to piece their lives back together.

Crystal Mangum may now have a signed and sealed police psychology degree, but she'll always be Public Enemy No. 1 in my book.

It will be interesting to see if her handlers appear in court on Monday. It would seem doubtful that a judge would grant a request for bail.....though it will be interesting to see if bail is set, for how much, and if anyone is able to pony up the amount.

Other questions occur.....
1. (and most important) Where are her children?
2. what was the deadly weapon used in the assault charge? If a gun, how did she get one? If not, was it a knife?
3. who was the victim of the deadly assault? - a client, a pimp, or someone else?

Thought I would check in on the justice4nifong site - still no mention of Beaty's ruling and of course, no update on Crystal's activities.

anyone have a guess about how long it could be before discovery might start?

and I replied...


And will it begin prior to Crystal's next arrest?


The answer to myself..is...apparently no. :thud:

Didn't one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs say that they had begun serving notice for the depositions? If so, then technically, Mangum's arrest occurs after......

A better question is this? Who was the prescient person who predicted when Crystal would next see the confines of a jail cell?
