Crystal Mangum, 33
In 2006, Crystal Mangum falsely accused three white Duke University lacrosse team players of rape. Duke lacrosse coach Mike Pressler was forced to resign under threat by athletics director Joe Alleva and Duke President Richard Brodhead canceled the remainder of the 2006 season. The false allegations led to the disbarment of lead prosecutor Mike Nifong, who initially labeled the case a hate crime.
