I agree whole heartedly with this, I understand that there are laws put in place and that one must abide by them (ie. children 14 and under) but given the type of crime, the length of time of the crime and how many bystanders there were, surely a good lawyer will find some type of loop whole in past cases won or lost. Its just completely unjust to say that these onlookers are in no way responsible for what happend to that young lady. If it were someone we all knew or were close to, surely we would all see it that way.
