A defense attorney said rape charges against three Duke University lacrosse players, including Essex Fells resident Reade Seligmann, have been dropped.
An attorney for one of the three players, all who have been accused of attacking a stripper at a team party, said charges of kidnapping and sexual offense remain in place.
Defense attorneys have said for months the female accuser told many different versions of the alleged assault. One defense attorney said Friday that the accuser now says she does not know if she was penetrated, which he said led District Attorney Mike Nifong to dismiss the rape charges.
