A federal court has fined a Durham man and ordered him not to file any more "vexatious and frivolous" lawsuits against Duke University officials over the discredited 2006 sexual assault allegations involving members of the school's lacrosse team.

Sidney Harr, a retired physician, is a longtime supporter of former Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong and Crystal Mangum, the woman who accused three lacrosse players of raping her during a team party at an off-campus house. Authorities later cleared the players of any wrongdoing, and Nifong was disbarred for the way he handled the case.

Harr has said Mangum and Nifong were treated unfairly by the judicial system and the media, and he also has maintained that authorities falsified the autopsy report of Mangum’s boyfriend, whom she was convicted of killing in 2011.

Despite Harr's reputation as a public gadfly and Nifong's biggest supporter, most people know little about the man and his motivations. It is not well-known that after going broke in California, he bounced around with his wife, leaving a trail of sensational lawsuits marked by paranoia. Between 1985 and 1997, Harr was a party to at least 27 lawsuits in California, Arizona and Ohio. He sought hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for civil rights violations, employment discrimination and fraud.

"He confidently moved from city to city wrecking people's lives and careers," said Dwight James, a physician who runs a practice in Porterville, Calif.
