Forty-one was the jersey number for McFadyen. The e-mail, quoted in a probable cause affidavit, was used by law enforcement to secure search warrants related to the alleged attack and bolstered the prosecutor’s belief that the men accused were guilty as sin.

The media latched onto the outrage-invoking story. Pundits opined about such a crime keeping in step with lacrosse’s culture of entitlement. Some went so far as to say they were shocked not at the alleged behavior of the players, but rather at the authorities’ insistence that these ne’er-do-well rich kids finally be held accountable. In her show immediately following the indictment of two of the lacrosse players, Nancy Grace roasted a guest who suggested that the athletes might be innocent. “That’s your first concern?!” Grace interrupted. “Do you have a sister? I assume you have a mother.” Fewer than eight percent of reported rapes are proven to be false accusations, she added, so the possibility that the young men were innocent meant “not a hill of beans in my assessment of this case.”

The lacrosse world was rattled—even the Huguelys. George V and his father were both interviewed for their reactions to the scandal by the Washington Post. Huguely’s father told the paper that he’d used the incident as an opportunity to counsel his son about avoiding potentially dangerous situations.

“Regardless of what winds up happening, you have to learn from this experience and take what you can from it,” the elder Huguely said. “You always have to remember and can’t let yourself be in a situation where something like this could happen.”

Huguely V said he couldn’t help but sympathize with the team.

“They’ve been scrutinized so hard and no one knows what has happened yet,” he told the paper. “In this country, you’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. I think that’s the way it should be.”

Duke wasn’t as cautious in its reaction. The university suspended the lacrosse team for two games in late March, then canceled the remainder of the 2006 season, because of the allegations. Lacrosse coach Mike Pressler, who had helmed the team for sixteen seasons, was forced out. (Though his departure was outwardly presented as a resignation, he was awarded a settlement of an undisclosed amount from Duke in October 2007 for wrongful termination.) As it turned out, the university had perhaps reacted too hastily. In April 2007, thirteen months after the supposed off-campus gang-bang, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper dropped all charges against the three accused players. More than that, he declared the three innocent, which was an unusual move; most prosecutors dismiss charges with prejudice, allowing law enforcement to save face
