DA in Duke Univertsity Sexual Assault Case Charged.

The North Caroline State Bar has charged Mike Nifong with ethics violations in a complaint that Nifong produced misleading statements to the court in the Duke University sexual assault case, which he had been in charge of until he stepped down. He is accused of withholding evidence regarding DNA samples and withholding statements from the court. Nifong could face being removed from the state bar. Before stepping down, Nifong pursued rape, sexual assault and kidnapping charges against the three lacrosse players based on testimony by the accuser. Although the rape charges have been dropped in the case, the prosecution is still pursuing sexual assault and kidnapping charges against the three defendants.DA in Duke Univertsity Sexual Assault Case Charged.
