Unless I'm mixing up cases they actually videoed this question. And asked over the phone or something the next day as well.
Remembering the standard of proof in criminal cases, this will end up being messy if it's clear that the acts were committed and it comes down to consent/coerced consent/lack of capacity to consent. These guys could be acquitted on the criminal standard, but at the same time clearly lacking in judgment and behaviour in the eyes of many. Then what does the league, their teams, and the PA do?
