Crystal Mangum admitted in an interview that her accusation against three Duke University lacrosse players was fabricated, motivated by a desire for validation, not truth.
Mangum expressed remorse, saying, 'I want them to know that I love them and they didn't deserve that,' reflecting on the harm caused by her false claims.
The 2006 case against the three Duke University players ignited national debates on race, class, and justice, with subsequent investigations revealing no credible evidence of assault.
The attorney general confirmed the lack of evidence to support Mangum's claims, and the prosecutor involved faced disbarment for misconduct during the case's handling.
