Rape is normal too, it happens everywhere with some frequency. Men were designed by nature to be able to have sex whenever we want (hence the penis).

Since the "rape" appears to just be fingering and masturbating over, I'd say the punishments are fair. I would hope this girl learned something but I doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if the people in this thread are more outraged over this incident than the girl who was "raped."

[The charges go beyond "rape". Any current article will give you that info. Read a few and you might find out more as to what transpired.WOW, a girl gets violated and humiliated in more ways than one, and you doubt she wouldn't learn from it? Do you doubt that the boys will learn anything as well?Double WOW - based on your post it's clear that you can't see where the outrage is directed.]

The girl got fingered which is sexual assault but I doubt she internalized any humiliation being drunk and passed out. The boys got JV, and while they'll probably only serve about 6 months to 1 year before getting out, they'll be registered sex offenders for the rest of their lives.

As for this fingering thing, it happens so much to people passed out that I'm sure the boys didn't even know it was illegal. It's certainly misleading to call it rape.

[they got off easy]

If they raped her (penis into vagina), I would agree. But they will be sex offenders for the rest of their lives, their futures are not so bright anymore.

I just came from South Padre and witnessed young kids doing all these things to both men and women passed out from drinking too much. Urinating, stripping and taking photos next to the passed out person, fondling genitalia, tea bagging, etc I doubt any of these spring breakers will go to jail. I doubt the men and women violated feel all that violated in this culture, it's just considered normal. I think a lot of people in this thread are not fully aware what young people do these days.
