She very likely felt duress at the time even if she tried to hide it.
The players really ought to have known that they were crossing some pretty obvious legal and moral boundaries. I can't believe that they really thought what they were doing was normal or acceptable. Like hey, this girl isn't explicitly saying "no", so I guess I can do whatever I want? That's dumb. Just trying applying that logic to any other kind of assault or crime.

This makes a lot of sense (and is what I'm thinking as well) if it is what happened (which know of us know or not), there wasn't consent.
You don't need to withdraw consent when changing what was consented to, and consent can't be given after the fact if it wasn't given.
If you want to change a 1-1 encounter to a multi-party encounter, you need explicited consent.
