For those interested her name is Crystal Gail Mangum and is no longer a student, she dropped out according to WRAL news Raleigh. So you do not have to worry about anyone paying for her education. You can read more about her here:

Jesse Jackson was interviewed on the Anderson Cooper show last night. Jackson repeatedly said he offered to pay for the "victim's" tuition so she wouldn't have to strip off naked for men anymore. Jesse, I have news for you. No female college student is forced to become a stripper to pay her tuition. Stripping was her choice. I paid my tuition through 4 years of college by working as a waitress for a small salary and good tips. I didn't have to take my clothes off once or give lap dances to earn this money.

If there is any justice in the criminal court system Nifong will convert all his assets to cash and turn it all over to the 3 wrongfully accused, and then spend the rest of his worthless life behind bars. On the other hand was what Nifong did substantially any different from what his counterparts all over this nation do each week? Probably not.

God Bless the Evans, Seligmann, and Finnerty families! Who the devil (no pun intended) would wish a nightmare year like the last 12 months on anybody? Unfortunately, these guys' history will ALWAYS just a few keystrokes away as long as the search engine is up and running.

Who to blame? 1. the media. the story fit the racist story line they love. Facts ? who cares. 2. The Faculty and Dean and Pres. at Duke. What a bunch of weak knee PC liberals who threw overboard a bunch of good kids and their fathers and mothers. Shame on them. They should be fired too. 3. The DA - The problem here. How often does such abuse occur and we do not know about it - White, Black-rich- poor ? I have a queezy feeling that all is very not right in our system, that took so long for something so obviously wrong.

If these boys had been any race and poor, they would have been in jail and lives ruined. Just like the LIbby case, the prosecutors are "out of control"


I am a Duke Alum, and I will not be giving any money any time soon - until heads roll and no PC BS statements.

Don Imus was a big enough man to apologize.

Will Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will be big enough men to apologize to these innocent Duke boys for the false accusations and presumptions they stirred up in Durham, NC.

I won't be holding my breath.

I agree with you 100%. Jessie Jackson is paying her tuition to go to school though. No one has the nads to call him on it because they're afraid of the race card being played on them, as Jessie and Al are experts at doing. That's how they make their livings. Reverands they are NOT!!! Just bad examples of leadership.

Hopefully their parents will sue the DA, jackson, sharpton, and the state of NC. They deserve to be.

The strippers name has been posted...she needs to be publicly humiliated for her false accusations, and charges pressed for falsely accusing these kids. She is a seasoned stripper and these kids were like playdough to her. She is a disgrace to the Navy as well, having been in the navy. It doesn't say much for the training women receive in the Navy-do they leave trained just to be nappy headed hos, or do they have real jobs. I am ex Air Force and this woman is a disgrace to other women veterans! How many DNA samples were found on her and from how many other men, the woman is a h-o-r-e. She should be kicked out of her school as well, she is a disgrace to their good name.

JESSIE JACKSON AND AL SHARPTON WILL NOT BE BIG ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT UNLESS IT INVOLVES HELPING A BLACK PERSON, PERIOD!! THEIR RACISM IS LOUD AND STRONG AND SEEN EVERY TIME THEY GET IN THE PUBLIC EYE. DOUBLE STANDARDS ARE WHAT SOCIETY HAS ALLOWED VIA THE WHITE GUILT SYNDROME AND POLITICALLY CORRECTNESS SYNDROME. WHAT A SHAME THE RACISM HAS JUST REVERSED ITSELF AND SOCIETY IS GIVING THE GREEN LIGHT TO IT. LETS GET RID OF RACISM ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE!!

You know they will not. They are only in accusation mode, everyone else should apologize to them and the people that the suppose to represent. The people they speak for still believe that these young men are guilty and will never believe otherwise. They only go around to otherwise stable communities and stir up trouble. I know that Jesse Jackson did here in the town where I live. If these guys ever had to hold a real job and live in the real world they would never make it.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton don't care about 3 white boys. All they care about is causing trouble, and hiding behind God.

Why have the name and other information been kept quiet on the identity of the "stripper"? She has cause an enormous expense and untold misery to these young men and their families, as well as the University.

Who is she? What is her problem, other than being single stripping mom?

I agree with processor2. The sad thing is that these boys will probably never hear an apology from them.

I agree processor2. It didn't take a blink of an eye for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to rush in with their tongues wagging about how guilty these boys were. And of course they can't resist condemning Don Imus and demanding his head on a platter. Imus deserves condemnation but he does not deserve to be villainized, especially by racist idiots like Jackson and Sharpton.

There are still black people who believe the Duke boys were guilty, and that includes officials at the college where the accuser was supposedly a student - even after AG Cooper's press conference. Go figure.
