Two Duke University lacrosse players were arrested early this morning and charged with rape. Bail was set at $400,000. Both men have already posted bail. Police have yet to identify the 3rd suspect. There will be at least one press conference later this morning.
Raleigh News Observer:

Duke University lacrosse players Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty were charged today with first degree forcible rape, first degree sexual offense and kidnapping in connection with a reported rape at a Duke lacrosse party, according to George Naylor, director of the Durham County Jail.
Bond was set for each player at $400,000, Naylor said.
Seligmann, a sophomore from Essex Fells, N.J., and Finnerty, a sophomore from Garden City, N.Y., emerged from a sheriff's deputy vehicle and were led, handcuffed, into the magistrate's office at 4:54 a.m. today.
Just after 7 a.m., Seligmann and another man left the jail and ran to a Ford Explorer with New Jersey license plates. They pulled onto Pettigrew Street and went to the traffic light at Pettigrew and Mangum streets. They stopped at a red light, waited for traffic to clear, and then turned left, running the red light.
Interesting that the second dancer has charged that the defense attorneys are liars. "In the interview, which was also shown Monday on MSNBC, the second dancer called the defense lawyers' comments about her testimony 'out-and-out lies'."
