Duke Lacrosse Accuser Arrested for Assault

North Carolina police responding to a domestic violence call have arrested the woman who falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape.

CBS News Affiliate WRAL-TV in Raleigh, N.C., reported 33-year-old Crystal Gale Mangum was arrested late Wednesday on charges she assaulted her boyfriend.

Durham County jail records indicate Mangum is charged with attempted murder, arson, assault and battery, identity theft, communicating threats, damage to property, resisting an officer and child endangerment.

Durham police said they found Mangum and 33-year-old Milton Walker fighting. Police said Mangum went into a bathroom and set some clothes on fire in a bathtub.

WRAL-TV reports that Mangum scratched, punched and threw objects at Walker, telling him, "I'm going to stab you!"

Mangum was charged with identity theft because she told police her name was "Marella Mangum," a fake name, WRAL-TV reports.

Three children - ages 3, 9 and 10 - were in the house, but no one was hurt.

Mangum was in jail Thursday morning, with no attorney yet.

This lady was never abused. She has been the abuser all her life. Wondering if former prosecutor Nancy Grace will read this article.
Nancy probably won't, like I don't watch her show anymore. I mean she crucified the Duke players like I've never seen allow on television.

Wonder what former prosecutor, Nancy Grace has to say about her part in this debacle? She did major spin on how awful the Duke men were.

This is the same woman - a.k.a. Crystal Gale Mangum who wrote the book "The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Mangum Story," and stated then that portion of the book's proceeds would contribute to help "abused women"? And now she's been arrested for allegedly "assaulting" her boy-friend? I suppose her next book would be titled " The Second Last Dance for Disgrace: The Crystal Mangum Story ? Take Two" then?
