In Durham North Carolina, two members of the Duke University lacrosse team have been arrested and charged with first-degree rape, first-degree forcible rape and kidnapping. Last month a black female student from North Carolina Central University accused three white members of Duke University’s Lacrosse team of rape. The woman was hired as a dancer for a lacrosse team party held in a house rented from Duke University. There she says she was beaten, raped and choked by three white lacrosse team members who also called her racial epithets. The lacrosse players, Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty, are both 20-year-old sophomores. They were arrested early this morning. Bond has been set for $400,000.
