They are not guilty of rape. At the very worst, they may be accessories after the fact, and not all of them may even be that. Do you think the perpetrators went out and tracked down all their teammates from the tournament to brag about what they did?

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.

So indiscriminately punishing everyone on the team is better?
The criminal process may be inadequate, but it's the best thing we have. I ought to be shocked, but am not, to hear a lawyer advocate bypassing it in favour of public shaming and indiscriminate punishment of every possible suspect.
