Crystal Gail Mangum (born July 18, 1978) is a woman from Durham, North Carolina, who is best known for making false allegations of rape against lacrosse players in the 2006 Duke lacrosse case.
The fact that Mangum was a black woman working in the sex industry, while the accused were all white men, created extensive media interest and academic debate about race, class, gender and the politicization of the justice system. In February 2010, she was arrested on charges of attempted murder of her live-in partner, Milton Walker.
She was eventually convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile, injury to personal property and resisting a public officer.In November 2013, she was found guilty of second-degree murder after she stabbed boyfriend Reginald Daye, who died 10 days after.
She argued that she acted in self-defense, fearing that Daye would kill her.
She was sentenced to 14 to 18 years in prison.
