Four years after the fact, some reasonable doubt with the texts, would be incredible if there was ever any conviction.

But if a player was found to have engaged in sexual activity in that room with the 7 others, would that amount to “guilty” in your eyes? Obviously the alleged gang rapists will say it was consensual, she says it wasn’t.

I’m just curious because it would be enough for me. I’d be fine if the 8 players involved never play another game once they are named.

Open question to anyone who wants to respond.
I get that guilt probably won't be 100% provable in this case. I am not sure where my personal threshold is yet for not giving the benefit of doubt, but it's getting pretty close at this point. I'm already wavering back and forth. I think if someone with inside knowledge came out and said, "these are the 8 players involved", that would be good enough. I wouldn't need a conviction in court. I can already believe what happened was a crime. Granted, that probably won't happen either.
