Sources told the Durham (N.C.) Herald-Sun tissue under the dancer's nails was from the same genetic pool and was "consistent" with the bodily makeup of one of 46 lacrosse players who gave DNA samples for testing.
The woman told police she clawed at three attackers as they raped and sodomized her for 30 minutes during the March 13-14 lacrosse house party.

Two lacrosse players have been indicted on rape charges.

I really hope that this dancer is vindicated in this case. Her dancer colleague was ruining her credibility... |
