RALEIGH, N.C. – Three former Duke lacrosse players falsely accused of rape five years ago can pursue a lawsuit against the ex-county prosecutor and police investigators who handled their case, a federal judge in North Carolina ruled Thursday.
U.S. District Judge James Beaty said in his decision that the players can pursue claims such as malicious prosecution, concealment of evidence and fabrication of false evidence. He dismissed several other accusations, such as intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Richard Emery, an attorney for one of the former players, Reade Seligmann, said they are prepared to vigorously pursue the case.
"The opinion is what I would call, overall, a ringing success for the boys," Emery said. "We're glad that we're moving ahead with the case."
An attorney for former District Attorney Mike Nifong and a spokeswoman for the Durham Police Department didn't immediately return calls seeking comment.
asshole Former D.A. Mike Nifong was later disbarred and was accused of withholding DNA evidence that would have cleared the players.
