In 2006, the Duke University men's lacrosse team was at the center of a scandal after a dancer falsely accused three players of sexual assault. This episode walks through the chronology of the Duke Hoax: from the initial, explosive accusation that ignited a national debate, to the growing realization that evidence pointed to the players' innocence. We highlight the actions of former DA Mike Nifong, who became the first prosecutor in North Carolina disbarred for trial conduct, and discuss the immense legal and personal cost borne by the three young men before they were finally and fully cleared of all charges.
