Crystal Mangum Confessed. But What About the Victims of Sex Assault Hoaxes Whose Accusers Have Never Confessed?
By Armando Simón
In 2006, the elite la crosse athletes of Duke University hired a stripper to perform for them to celebrate some wins. Although they specifically asked for white strippers, they were saddled with two drug-addled blacks who were so out of it the performance was canceled after 20 minutes or so, at which point they acted even more erratically. One of them, Crystal Mangum, at the prompting of a rape counselor at the local hospital, accused the men of having gang raped them. Mangum was not only an addict and a stripper, but she was also a prostitute and is now serving time for murder.
There were numerous discrepancies in her story, actually stories (the details changed all the time). A thoroughly evil lawyer, the local DA, Mike Nifong, used the case for his re-election bid and proclaimed—broadcasted, really—the men were guilty before he even read the police reports or the testimony. He took on the role of the White Savior to get the black vote, and the local newspapers engaged in lynch journalism with journalists refusing to consider the men’s possible innocence. The university faculty turned on the young men. And increased the hysteria.
Ultimately, the players were found innocent since none of their DNA were found on her or in her, (even though her panties had the DNA of several other men), her discrepancies were too obvious, and one of the accused was filmed present elsewhere during the horrible, terrible, traumatic “sexual assault.” During the preliminary hearing, Nifong was also discovered to have told a key witness to lie (he would later be disbarred and become the poster child of truly evil prosecutors).
Last week, the skank confessed to having lied.
Read Until Proven Innocent, a thorough documentation of their travail and you will find that no matter how much you presently hate the media, the race hustlers, unprincipled DAs and false accusers, you really cannot hate them enough.
The la crosse case had a happy ending of sorts, but what about the hundreds of men who have been falsely accused of sexual assault for one reason or another, who were not able to gather evidence that would prove them innocent, or whose accusers did not change their minds, or even whose defense lawyers were inept? These are many and their lives have been destroyed. And the worst part is nobody wants to believe them, nobody even wants to hear their side. They have been found guilty of rape/sexual assault/etc., the unspoken attitude of the public with these case is the legal system is never wrong.
The movement to falsely accuse men of sex crimes began long before #MeToo. And tragedies like these will continue to occur, as long as psychotic feminism is nurtured in universities and as long as no serious punishments are given out to those who make false accusations. Until then, many men will fall victim to false accusations and their lives and reputation will be thoroughly destroyed.
Unless, of course, they are able to gain vindication, at which point we will all stop snarling at them and then feel sympathetic. Without an ounce of self-awareness.
