Crystal Magnum Drops Charges
The accuser in the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case told
prosecutors in December that one of the three players charged did not
commit any sex act on her during the alleged attack, according to
court papers filed Thursday by the defense.

Jewish Boy Only Watched
The attacker identified as Reade Seligmann only watched, she told
an investigator, the papers said. While he was repeatedly urged to
take part in the alleged attack, she recalled, he said he could not
participate because he was getting married.
"The accuser's most recent recollection of events demonstrates clearly
that she cannot accurately recall and describe her attackers and that
any identification made by her is necessarily unreliable," the defense
filing said.

Victim Says "No Tally-Wackers Penetrated Her"
The accuser also said she was no longer certain she had been penetrated
vaginally by a penis, a necessary element of rape charges in North
Carolina.
That led Nifong to dismiss rape charges against Seligmann and fellow
defendants Dave Evans and Collin Finnerty. The players, who have
steadfastly declared their innocence, remain charged with sexual offense
and kidnapping.
