one detail worth mentioning

If these kids did what they are accussed of, let them go to jail and let them rot. The ones who stood by and did nothing should face severe punishment as well.

But...now that we're having this conversation, let's get one thing straight--99% of the time, an escort service is a prostitution service. Period. Of course, if she was a prostitute, it doesn't make the rape any less horriffic, and the perpetrators should pay just the same. But stop calling her a dancer or a stripper. And if you don't think that detail makes a difference, watch what happens in court...
