I think the testimony of the players who were there but did not participate might be the smoking gun that ultimately fries these guys.
While the "boys will be boys" mentality might have been more prevalent back then, I expect a number of these non-participants will now tell the truth about what actually happened. It would go directly to the issue of consent.
Just a guess though.
It certainly answers the question though as to why they can now prosecute when before then didn't.
