DURHAM, N.C. -- The woman who has accused members of the Duke University men's lacrosse team of raping her at a party last month "definitely was under some sort of substance" after leaving the party, according to a second woman at the party. . . .
In an exclusive interview with NBC17, a second woman who also danced at the March 13 party refuted claims made in recent days by defense attorneys that the accuser was intoxicated and injured when she arrived at the party.
"She looked absolutely fine," the second dancer said, noting that the accuser's demeanor changed dramatically after they left the party.
"She was definitely a totally different woman than when I first met her. She definitely was under some sort of substance," the woman said.
A source close to the official investigation of the case has told NBC17 that the accuser might have been drugged at the party.
The second dancer declined to discuss specifics of what happened at the party.
"If I could see the future and would have known what that night would've brought, I would have paid more attention. I wish I had paid more attention to everything that happened around me," she said.
The woman admitted calling 911 to report racial epithets yelled at her and the accuser as they left the party. But she said the details of the incident became jumbled in her call because she was trying to hide the fact that she had been performing at the party.
The woman said her parents don't know she makes a living as an exotic dancer, and she was afraid the information would be made public if she had been upfront with the 911 dispatcher. . . .

These guys obviously did it: they're white.
and the part about her being extremely drunk, and in someone elses car at a supermarket or somesuch doesn't factor into this?
ping
Uh-huh.
If they didn't "feel" there was a crime committed.
This isn't about "feelings" my dear. Cold hard facts don't support the prosecution.
Slipping her a mickey would not be out of the question for a bunch of rich yankees at Duke.
One from the police force, and the other a peer of hers.
Was she three feet deep in a vat of jello?
What makes you think they're yankees?
****
Hmmm
****
Where ...... in the Kroger's parking lot?
I'm sure she wasn't drinking AT the party, now was she? A fine upstanding young lady like this could not have possibly ingested something of her own free will.
See what happens when you take the pimp out of the equation. These folks get referred to traditional sources of protection. Are we in the business of protecting these folks from their poor behavioral choices? I don't believe horniness and lust are any less than the old days. It's just that in the old days immorality was illegal. And so the women gave money to strong mean men to protect them from punk boys. Can you expect anything more than rolled eyes when an outcall girl gets abused?
So, the truth could be:
(a) The alleged victim is lying and knows she is lying.
(b) The alleged victim willingly took a substance at the party but hallucinated the attack.
(c) The alleged victim tricked into taking a substance at the party and hallucinated the attack.
(d) An attack really occurred but somehow no DNA evidence was left.
Withholding judgement against anyone in this story until more evidence surfaces.
Oh no not ever/sarc.
In that first 911 call (as I say, to my recollection) the second dancer specifically states that no physical harm was done to her or "her girlfriend," and that she made the call only to report the hurling of racial epithets.
This presents a rather serious problem for the prosecution.
Where's Miss Cleo these days?
That's the word from people in Durham.
