Third Lacrosse Player Indicted
Senior Evans expected to make first court appearance Monday afternoon
A third member of the Duke men's lacrosse team was indicted by a grand jury Monday afternoon.
Senior Dave Evans has been charged with first degree forcible rape, first degree sexual offense and first degree kidnapping.
Evans is expected to turn himself in at the Durham County Dentention Facility at 2 p.m., and he will likely make his first court appearance later this afternoon.
Evans was a co-captain of the team and one of three students who leased 610 North Buchanan Blvd., the house where the accuser-a black exotic dancer-was allegedly raped.
Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, two sophomores on the team, were arrested on the same charges April 18.
The indictment comes after a second round of testing partially matched genetic material taken from a false fingernail found in a trash can in the house.
The sample, which was incomplete, matched DNA taken from one of the lacrosse team members who was not Finnerty or Seligmann.
The testing results also matched DNA evidence taken from a vaginal swab to a man who has been named as the alleged victim's boyfriend.
"There is no conclusive match...that ties any of these young men to this woman who has made these false accusations," Joseph Cheshire, one of the defense attorneys representing Evans, said at a press conference Friday evening.
