THE OTHER DANCER IN THE DUKE LACROSSE RAPE CASE REFUTES A KEY PART OF THE ACCUSER'S STORY IN A "60 MINUTES" INTERVIEW SUNDAY ON CBS

The dancing partner of the woman who accuses three Duke Lacrosse players of raping her refutes a key part of her partner's account of the alleged crime. Kim Roberts, who danced at the same party where the alleged rape took place, makes the revelation in an interview with Ed Bradley to be broadcast on 60 MINUTES, Sunday, Oct. 15 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network

Roberts' answer to Bradley's question directly contradicts a crucial statement the accuser gave to police. Bradley asks whether she, Roberts, who goes by the stage name "Nikki" when she performs, was holding onto the accuser at the beginning of the alleged crime. Says Bradley, "In the police statement, [accuser] describes the rape in this way: 'Three guys grabbed Nikki,' "That's you," says Bradley, "'Brett, Adam and Matt grabbed me. They separated us at the master bedroom door while we tried to hold on to each other. Bret, Adam and Matt took me into the bathroom.' Were you holding on to each other? Were you pulled apart?"

"Nope," replies Roberts, who says she was hearing this account for the first time.

Roberts also denies the accuser's statement to the police that after the alleged rape, Roberts came into the bathroom and helped one of the rapists dress her.

When pressed by Bradley about whether she saw signs of rape from the accuser, such as complaining about pain or a mention of an assault, Roberts says, "She obviously wasn't hurt�because she was fine."

Bradley's report also contains interviews with the three defendants, Collin Finnerty, Reade Selligmann and David Evans, all of whom proclaim their innocence, and others involved in the story.
