Duke Lacrosse Players Accused of Raping a Stripper

A party among Duke lacrosse players got out of hand and the stripper they called to entertain them is alleging that she was raped by three guys in the bathroom. 46 of the 47 players had to submit to DNA tests. The 47th is black, and the stripper, who is also black, claims her attackers were white. Duke has prevented the team from playing, causing them to forfeit two games, even though the players say no rape occurred.
This has become big news on the campus because the town, Durham, has a roughly 50/50 black/white split. And reports are that the strippers thought they were coming to a party for 5 guys. They got there and saw 40, and the players began shouting racial epithets at them. The strippers left but were convinced to come back in after one guy apologized. That was when they trapped her in the bathroom and said "sweetheart, you can't leave."
Black locals from Durham have been protesting on campus all week.
I don't know how the guilty parties (if a rape happened) expect to get around a DNA test.

I wonder if they punched her in the face and called her a whore. Duke rules!

It's actually an OFFENSIVE rape, on the stripper, she's in the bonus. One and One!

If the Glove Don't Fit You Must Acquit. Be gone with DNA.
