DURHAM, N.C. – Crystal Gail Mangum, the exotic dancer who accused three former Duke lacrosse players of raping her at a house party has given birth to a baby, FOX News has confirmed.

FOX News’ Greta Van Susteren said the information came after conversations with the accuser’s father, mother, grandmother and aunt. The family said the woman had the baby Thursday.

The new information came after an earlier interview with the accuser’s cousin, Jakkie, who was aware of the pregnancy but not the delivery at the time of the interview.

Jakkie told FOX News the accuser was due for birth nine months after the Duke University lacrosse team party where the accuser alleged she was raped.

There had been no prior indication the woman, a 28-year-old college student who already has children, was pregnant. She has not spoken in public since granting a single interview to the News & Observer of Raleigh shortly after the party.

Defense attorneys for the three accused players cited a key DNA test report this week that found that none of their genetic material was found on the dancer. Medical records included in a motion the attorneys filed Thursday were not made public. It wasn’t clear whether a pregnancy test was taken immediately after the party.

Defense lawyers also on Thursday asked a judge to bar the alleged victim from identifying the men in court, a move that could force the prosecution to drop charges, experts say.

The Duke players who have been indicted in the case – Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans – arrived at the Durham County Courthouse at around 8:15 a.m. Friday for the hearing. It is unclear whether the defense would argue its new motions. The hearing had been expected mostly to deal with scheduling.

The 43-page motion filed Thursday came a day after the defense team blasted District Attorney Mike Nifong [pictured] for not turning over the key lab report that also found DNA from multiple males in the accuser’s body.

Lawyers said Nifong had the report last April but buried it in thousands of documents turned over to the defense in October.

Defense attorneys argued in court papers filed Thursday that the accuser misidentified her alleged attackers in a photo lineup, and that she was “an incoherent mass of contradiction and error.”

The motion would bar prosecutors from using the photo lineup at their clients’ trial and prevent the accuser from identifying the players from the witness stand.

Duke University law professor James E. Coleman Jr. said the case would be “effectively dismissed” if the court finds the lineup inadmissible “and rules that it is so suggestive that there can’t be an in-court identification.”

An earlier defense motion argued the lineup was “unnecessarily suggestive” because the accuser was shown only photos of lacrosse players.

The News & Observer detailed the lineup timeline:

-In March, the accuser looked at pictures of 36 lacrosse players and didn’t identify any as her attackers. On March 16, she viewed a picture of Seligmann and said she was 70 percent sure he was at the party but couldn’t remember what he was doing. On March 21, she twice looked at photos of Evans, one of the team’s captains, and didn’t recognize him.

-April 4: Accuser viewed a PowerPoint presentation of 46 lacrosse players and identified four as her assailants. That lineup became the basis for the three indictments. The fourth person was not investigated further.

-Before that lineup, the accuser made contradictory statements, misidentified party-goers and failed to recognize the men she would eventually accuse.

Thursday’s motion added details about efforts by police investigators and Nifong to assist the accuser in identifying the three men she said raped her in a bathroom at a March 13 team party where she had been hired to perform as an exotic dancer.

Based in part on those identifications, Seligmann, 20 of Essex Falls, N.J., Finnerty, 20 of Garden City, N.Y., and Evans, 23 of Bethesda, Md., were indicted on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual offense. All three players insist they are innocent.

The motion also highlighted what defense attorneys consider numerous holes in the accuser’s story.

Among the details cited are examples of how her story changed in the hours and days after the party; that she has a history of bipolar disorder; and that she identified two people as having attended the party who were not there.

“There is quite simply no evidence that any of the accuser’s identifications or descriptions of her alleged attackers are in any way reliable,” the defense motion says. “Rather the state is left with an incoherent mass of contradiction and error, one which not only raises the issue of a ‘substantial likelihood of misidentification,’ but which establishes that the accuser has in fact misidentified the defendants.”
