Whom are you responding to with this?
In case it was me:
I'm saying that if the 8 did what they are alleged to have done, they should be punished by due process of law, not by us. If the victim is satisfied to keep it on the level of a civil complaint and accept damages instead, that's her choice and we have no right to demand further punishment. Still less do we have any right to punish everyone who might have been involved.
None of this has anything to do with the despicable accusation you made in the last passage I quoted above.

The CBA disagrees.
Also, those “associating” are, to the extent they were not honest about the acts, are also guilty.
Finally, the criminal process is woefully inadequate to deal with this kind of situation. It’s not infallible, and in fact is weighed heavily against the truth in these cases.
