I agree witrh you - don't get me wrong, I'm certainly blaming the boys, but yes, what the hell were underaged teenager girls getting into that situation ?? Where were their families ???

I still don't believe this should be on the victim to initiate the prosecution though. I mean, how does this happen in cases where there is intimidation, say from a gang. They still manage to proceed with charges there.
There are at least 3 laws being broken by these guys (rape, statutory rape, harassment), and I find it very hard to believe that their family connections are not at least slightly hindering the progress of prosecution.
Naaa ... any defence lawyer would just say it was teenage boys bravado and false boasting .. and the prosecution would need to wheel in the victims to say what had happened to them .. without the victims, in court it is just teenage bravado and bullshit ...
Family connections have bugger all to do with it - no victims have, as yet, come forward ...
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
