At least that was the gist of it.
Also, and it cant be said enough, no one has been convicted of anything at this point...hell no one has even been accused directly/by name even if its fairly easy to infer who is and is not involved.

This true, however, the details of the alleged assault are not in question. There is video evidence, text messages, and corroboration of the details. The only thing in question is whether or not the act of 8 people showing up in a hotel room and having, in their minds, group sex, was a consensual encounter when the one female involved claims it wasn't. Personally, I don't need a court to tell me that it's not, even if they somehow find that it "technically" is.
The only question that remains is who was there, and who knew about it and never said anything, and IMO all of them should never work again.
