There is nothing legally wrong with the acts themselves, as long as all parties involved were consenting. I think that's the point. People get into all sorts of freaky stuff that others don't understand and certainly wouldn't want to hear their daughters partaking in.
But that's not the issue.
The issue is simply of consent and whether it was provided.

I'm hearing lots of victim blaming using the same logic as the "if it was your daughter" argument. She shouldn't have been out drinking....shouldn't have gone up to the room with the first guy...etc....
Women have a right to choose how they have fun too. We need to get away from this attitude of congratulating men and condemning women for having sex.
If justice is going to be done, it needs to be clear that the victim had the right to consent to whatever acts and didn't breach some moral code in doing so. Then she had the right to say no and stop at any time, regardless of what she'd previously consented to.
