Getting someone drunk, raping them, and leaving them in the snow isn’t some minor youthful indiscretion that they’re going to grow out of. There’s some callous disregard for life and autonomy there.
Do the adults hold some responsibility? I’m not denying that in the slightest. But four years for the coverrup and less than that for rape? That’s all part of the problem.
I do agree with DevinC that it’s good that they’re going after the others, but I have a solid hunch that it’s only because of all the publicity and it’s going to stay fairly rare.
