Corey Maggette Reported to Be Player Named in Duke Sexual Assault Investigation

A woman accused former NBA swingman Corey Maggette of raping her when he was a member of the Duke Blue Devils, according to the New York Times' Kevin Draper, Stephanie Saul and Marc Tracy.

Nancy Erika Smith, who is representing Meredith Watson, had said Friday her client was assaulted by a Duke basketball player and that she notified a university dean of the situation. Smith said the dean "discouraged her from pursuing the claim further."

Maggette spent one season with the Blue Devils and appeared in 39 games during the 1998-99 campaign.
