Remember the name Crystal Gale Mangum? If not, surely you remember the 2006 Duke Lacrosse rape scandal. She’s the one that accused three members of the Duke lacrosse team of locking her in a bathroom, sexually assaulting and raping her.

Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and David Evans were indicted on charges, thrown off the lacrosse team and wrongly convicted in the court of public opinion. Now it appears that she is getting her comeuppance:

Durham police arrested Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Gale Mangum, 33, late Wednesday after she allegedly assaulted her boyfriend, set his clothes on fire in a bathtub and threatened to stab him.

Authorities charged her with attempted first-degree murder, five counts of arson, assault and battery, communicating threats, three counts of misdemeanor child abuse, injury to personal property, identity theft and resisting a public officer.

Lock her up and throw away the key. “Good riddance to bad rubbish.”
