So she wasn’t at “her senses” and she “was very drunk”. Therefore she can’t have consented to sex while not at her senses and while “very drunk”. And if she also assaulted one or more of them them while she was drunk she needs prosecuted too.

interesting how they claim she consented, to the point of being left with documented injuries, yet, the driver also admitted this He answered that she was very drunk and that she did not know 'what, where, how'.

Doctor gives evidence of medical exam in rape trialA doctor who examined a 17-year-old after she was allegedly raped and sexually assaulted by five men has told the Central Criminal Court that findings from a medical examination were consistent with the possibility of non-consensual intercourse. Are we allowed comment ? here goes not with Standing the presumption of innocence, Such a vigorous defence would indicated perhaps that the defendant's are from a well-heeled social and economic background. If they are guilty it would be great if she could waiver her anonymity
