Speculation does not help anything in these cases.
The legal system is so damn broken for these types of cases. It is so biased against the victims at every level, and so rare that the rapists are ever charged. And even if they are charged they so often get off on the worst most sexist reasons (boys will be boys, she must have not do enough to stop it, why ruin a good boy's life over this, ...).
This has resulted in a situation where to public has no faith in the legal system to provide justice. So the court of public opinion jumps in to provide that missing justice, but as a mob that is not something it can actually do, and usually makes things worse.
