The way I read the article was that perhaps some of the boys were at the age of consent. The quote about this happening more often is ridiculous to me though. It happened before, people just weren't caught or it wasn't publicized.
It is hard for me to talk about much, but I have a dear friend who was falsely accused and convicted of this type of crime. She is spending four years in prison and it has ruined her life. She was tried by the media and on bulletin boards before she went to trial.
I bring up that point only because it's important to hold true to "innocent until proven guilty." We tend not to do that, especially in these kinds of cases.
