Three radical New York City black activists represented Brawley and her family: attorneys Alton Maddox and C. Vernon Mason and the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Brawley was said to have been abducted and repeatedly raped by six white men. She was found with ?KKK? written across her chest, a racial epithet on her stomach and her hair smeared with feces. She was so traumatized, according to reports, that at the hospital she answered yes-or-no questions by blinking her eyes. Making the crime even more vile, if that were possible, she and her lawyers later claimed that two of the rapists were law enforcement officials.
?We have the FACTS AND EVIDENCE that an assistant district attorney and a state trooper did this,? Mr. Sharpton said. He called Gov. Mario M. Cuomo a racist and warned that powerful state officials were complicit."
A Sharpton associate told the news media at the time that Ms. Brawley?s lawyers, C. Vernon Mason and Alton H. Maddox Jr., and Mr. Sharpton were ?frauds from the beginning.?

Both of Tawana Brawley attorneys had their law licenses revoked (Mason for unrelated reasons) and Sharpton was found guilty of defamation in a lawsuit brought by prosecutor Steven Pagones, who quickly had been able to establish he had been nowhere near the scene of the alleged crime.
