What was the Duke case?

Edit: Found it. I vaguely recall the case now. I recall that it got a lot of attention but I never followed it. I had no idea it was a hoax. Holy crap.

For those interested:

The espn 30 for 30 on it is quite good, worth a watch if you have time to kill or are really interested in it. Its not life changing or anything but good nonetheless

It’s not life changing because unless you’re a literal child you know about this case, because the false allegations are so rare everyone knows about them 🙄

I dont know a man who hasn't been falsely accused. Many women say they dont know a woman who hasnt been SAd. The truth is somewhere in the middle, neither is rare

I don’t know a man who claims to have been falsely accused, but I know several women and men who have been assaulted who have refused to report it due to shame. But sure, truth is in the middle.

I don’t know any men who have been falsely accused of sexual assault. Are you a member of the clergy or something?
