Ex-Lacrosse Players File Suit Against Duke
Thirty-eight former lacrosse players have filed suit against Duke University for "emotional distress and other injuries" caused by the infamous rape allegations in 2006, the Chronicle reports.
"We will seek recovery for the treatment—the really shameful treatment—that the players received throughout the ordeal," the players' lawyer said.
The school is already addressing two other civil suits, one by three other unindicted players and another from the team's former coach. The three formally indicted players settled with Duke for an undisclosed amount in June 2007.

Hello,i am reading
There's a lesson here...
The lesson here... we should not assume someone is guilty because they are CHARGED with a crime. Our Founding Fathers made sure this was part of the laws that govern this nation for a reason. It seems that these days, once you are charged (and especially if the media gets involved) you are presumed guilty.
This is a very bad trend. These you men's lives were upset by the false charges of this (bad) girl. But their lives were devastated by the media and the University.
