Police: Gang rape outside school dance lasted over two hours

[PeppyGPhiB]

Anyone seen "The Accused" with Jodie Foster?

If some people literally stood there and watched the act for two hours, and the rapists knew it, I would be surprised if a prosecutor did not try to assert that by standing there and watching, they were participants/conspirators. They may not have been required to stop it, but watching it for two hours amounts to acting as an excited audience to the rapists' performance. Their presence was enough to egg on the rapists. By hanging out, they probably drew out the awful attack and attracted more rapists to join in.

And I saw today that one of the guys arrested is 32? What the hell were these older men doing on the grounds of a high school homecoming dance? I also think it's sad that this girl was supposedly walking somewhere to get picked up by her dad...where was she walking to? I just thought it was kinda weird that her dad wasn't picking her up in front of the school or something.
