For instance on the first point, if the boys were aware of the teachers views going that way I'd entertain arguments their motivations were more malignant than just 'pranking teacher'.
And a corollary, I'd like to think (although this is Nebraska, so maybe not) having a more severe charge would give the court more leeway to services for the boys in regards to counseling and such. A slap on the wrist isn't going to get them to understand the offense to victims they've perpetrated like participating in the equivalent of anger therapy only for teen sex offenders.
Second, some men are going to react (rightly or wrongly) more strongly negatively than others to having other males reproductive emissions being in the mouth of their spouse.
3rd point would be the ludicrous under charging represented by the misdemeanor assault charge. I can see victim rights groups (and myself) thinking the prosecutor clearly not taking this very seriously as a an additional grievous affront to the victim. And 'affront' there shading into an additional assault or complicity with the original.
The 'well, boys will be boys' thing, which I'm betting 2 sets of the boys parents are already voicing, and I can imagine people thinking the prosecutor is on board with the same thing.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
