Rape allegations made by an African-American woman and exotic dancer against members of the school's nearly all white lacrosse team created racial and class divisions in the Durham community and beyond. After the suspects' lawyers raised doubts about the accuser's credibility, the state NAACP, led by Reverend William J. Barber, demanded a gag order. The organization did not ask for such a motion while prosecutor Mike Nifong made statements of the supposed guilt of the former lacrosse players. So now that charges have been dropped against the three men, does the state NAACP owe an apology? Reverend John Fredlaw, a Wilmington man and leading member of the organization says no. Fredlaw said, "Maybe forthcoming later there may be, but at this time I don't think an apology is in order. My point of view is that I think that the charges that were completely dropped should not have been completely dropped." Reverend Fredlaw says he still believes the woman was somehow abused. He said, "Something had to have happened for this young lady to have gone to the district attorney in that county to draw up some charges." As for questions that the NAACP, which works to fight questionable witnesses and to prevent injustice, may have sided with a questionable accuser, Fredlaw says he believes the woman is a victim, but recognizes there may be discrepancies. Fredlaw said, "When we have high profile cases, we have many contradictions in there. And this was a high profile case. And as far as I'm concerned, it is still a high profile case."
