After being cleared of sexual-assault charges, the lacrosse players of Duke University said they intend to sue the institution and the city of Durham, North Carolina.

The law suit will be filed in the federal court in North Carolina according to the sayings of Bob Bork, a spokesman for the players, who was interviewed today by telephone about the matter. He said he will give further details about the case when the time is right.

The lacrosse player’s decision to sue the school and the city of Durham comes 10 months after three team members were cleared of the charges.

A news conference is scheduled today in Washington where all thirty-eight lacrosse players and their parents along with their lawyer Charles J. Cooper will be present, said a statement distributed yesterday by PR Newswire.

A spokesman for Cooper informed that the lawsuit will be filed today on behalf of 38 players who weren’t charged. The spoke person did not elaborate about the 100-page lawsuit, but sad that invasion of privacy is one of the issues.

Three players sued former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong, who works for the city of Durham as well as for the laboratory Nifong. The three lacrosse players claimed that the rape charges brought against them were deliberately based on false allegations.

Duke University spokesman Geoffrey Mock said in June that a settlement has been made with the three players, but details of the agreement weren't made public.

Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong was actually removed from the practice of law last year for unethical conduct during the investigation that took place in 2006. he spent the night in prison for lying about the evidence.

The three players - David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann – were prosecuted after a stripper accused them of attacking her while she was dancing at a team party, but all the charges were dropped in April. The three accused were declared innocent and Nifong was discharged for his handling of the case.
