Episode 043: The Duke University Lacrosse Scandal

On March 13th 2006 during spring break at Duke University the Lacrosse team that had to stay on Campus went on to throw a party at an off campus house where the team hired 2 exotic dancers to attend. Shortly after the 2 girls arrived they would both pick up and leave. While one left in a car the other would be convinced to go back inside and would eventually end up at the police department in Durham to accuse some of the team members of criminal actions.   Sources  William D.
