On top of that the kid is accused of breaking a previous probation and is facing trial for that.

I really hope that if the stripper is found to be lying she goes to jail for the rest of her natural life.

Seems to me she looks less and less credible every day. I mean, didn't she pretty much guarantee that she was absolutely positive that the guys she picked out raped her? And then we find out that Seligmann has a solid time line of confirmed events that place him everywhere but the house during the alleged "rape."

I agree with you....I think something should happen to her if it is found that she lied. She ruined alot of things for alot of people.

As a North Carolinian whose parents both went to Duke, and whose boyfriend goes there now- I'm so sick of this story! If it wasn't Duke, would it even be in the news? And I know that sounds awful, but tell me how many rape cases go unspoke of? I understand what's at stake here and I get that, but you mean to tell me other athletes at other schools haven't raped a girl? And by NO means am I saying that I think they did, but I'm just saying- this kind of thing happens. And it's SICK. And it's SAD. But ruining/tainting these boy's lives until the justice is served to either side has just gotten ridiculous... and please don't yell at me for being tired of this story, I'm just sick if it being all over every last headline as I watch it go in circles.

The race issue has put it into the headlines as far as i'm concerned. When the scandals occured at Colorado recently involving the football team and recruiting....it didn't get near the attention....and it had alot to do with sexual misconduct and harassment.

I was tired of this story weeks ago.

I get tired of hearing about such things very quickly, though. Whenever there are "high profile" cases that receive a lot of media attention, I'm like "okay...can we just get the investigation and/or trial going already so we can move on."

Maybe you just missed where some of the media has touched the stripper.

Well, yeah, if she is lying then that is a criminal offense. I don't know how much prison time she would get but be she better think of relocating.

I think the only lessons you can really take from this is:

1) Don't invite strippers, hookers, or escorts to your wild parties without realizing there is a risk involved.

2) If you are a stripper, hooker, or escort don't go to wild parties with dudes without realizing there is a risk involved.

Trial by News Media and wanting a Political Career!

I hope as said in the Media that the stripper has a history of other problems. Granted, one of the accussed Duke Dudes did also, but lets see where it comes out in the wash!

I hope this DA Jerk gets his!

A question for someone who is more worldly than I am:

Don't strippers normally travel with a bodyguard when they make "housecalls"?

Some exotic dancer companies have chaperones for the dancers.

That could be based on the policies and practices of the company, whether the dancer requested a bodyguard, and/or if the company or the dancer foresaw a need for protection.
