BTW, that's gang rape, not misdemeanor assault

They pulled a stupid and dangerous prank, but it is NOT rape. Nor do I think the law needs to get involved here, the parents and teachers should take care of this, and at most the boys can be expelled if an example needs to be set.

I think people on this thread are swinging in some crazy directions from charging these guys with rape to not getting the law involved at all.

The prank they did was a crime, they committed a stupid and dangerous crime.  

The two things that have to be taken into consideration is the woman's physical health and the potential risk of stds.

The woman's mental trauma and how that might affect her career working in this place where it's well known news now that she ate the spunk of these guys.

It's obviously not rape but there's an undeniable sexual element to the prank which makes it more serious.

I love this community specifically because of such varied opinions.

Anyway, yes it is serious, and I am not saying it isn't. But I don't see the prank been done with criminal intent. I am not discounting this as "boys being boys", rather I don't think they should be punished for the perceived potential damage they might've done, rather they should be punished for what they already did. Tell me how does a misdemeanor charge, or even a food tampering/poisoning charge help more than an expulsion and counseling? A slap-on-the-wrist by law enforcement would simply embolden them and others like them
