In my days, the guys just hung out on the ledge and watched.

Since the dudes' mugs were posted in the article, I think it's only fair to post [removed]

Exactly. Her last login date lists April 2008, but the incident took place in 2006. You'd think she'd want to practice some discretion a little.

Not that I condone what happened but you think they could have come up with something better than hiding under a blanket with a video camera.

According to one of the commenters on the Sun-Sentinel forum, she still friends with one of the offenders on Facebook.

I don't think that's her facebook profile, I think that woman lives in the UK since so many of the people are in UK networks.

The girls pictured in her MySpace profile I'd like to help with their eye makeup, they are abusing eyeliner.

DOH! You're right. I just saw the first Lauren and thought it was her.

Looks like she's at UCF -- and friends with goofy guy in the first mug.

Well, to be fair he just [had consensual intercourse with] her, the other guy taped.

And in their defense, that was probably the first time a Florida Delt has gotten any in ages, they needed it to hold them over on their next house-wide dry spell.

otw-it may be nice if you removed the other persons page from your prior posting.

as for the larger issue my very first thought was that this was in a very broad way a kind of rape. which made me wonder why the victims name and personal information were published. i realize that with defendants not being charged with rape, the media would not follow those rules. however it does make the invasion of privacy count /charge a bit ironic. and yes i do understand that this is now a civil case, not a criminal one.

Tinia, I also think (and I am not a lawyer) that her name was published because it's a civil suit.

In my limited knowledge of the law, which is basically Night Court, LA Law, and Law & Order, a plaintiff in a civil suit might not have a right to privacy.

Also (and finally) I don't think even if it was a criminal case that the media HAS to keep the identity of the victim secret, but most of them do to be nice.

It's a civil suit, she's a plaintiff, not a victim. And I'm not a lawyer, but I think with the exception of some "filed on behalf of an anonymous party" cases (i.e. Roe vs. Wade) there is very little privacy standard for civil plaintiffs.
