Crystal Mangum maintains Duke lacrosse players sexually assaulted her

Magnum said she is "looking forward to opening old wounds," but wants people to know her side of the story.

Magnum accused former Duke University lacrosse players Reade Seligmann, Colin Finnerty, and Dave Evans of brutally beating, strangling, raping, and sodomizing her.

"Even as I try to move on with my life, I still find it necessary to take one more stand and fight," she writes in the book, "The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Mangum Story."

"I want to assert, without equivocation, that I was assaulted. Make of that what you will. You will decide what that means to you because the state of North Carolina saw fit not to look at all that happened the night I became infamous."

Mangum was hired as a stripper the night the incident happened in March 2006. After a long court case, the state attorney general's office concluded that there was no credible evidence to prove an attack had occurred.

"What matters is for people to know my account of what happened and for all of us to learn from it," she said according to the Associated Pres.
