Common law does not necessary needs common sense application,these guys should be let loose,in faithful judgment why would d victim hv followed the accused volutarily without been kidnapped to scene of the crime.It should be convincing enough to understand there was intent ,the victim is a liar ,if she wasn't resisting or calling for help at the time,according to the article there was no mentioning her effort to resist the advancement,but were caught by security guard at point.these young guys should be let loose.

Sex in the ghetto is nothing new,no home ,no money to book hotel and beside one was not necessary for a gang thing,many girls especially ghetto sisters likes it in groupies.the judges should use very simple understand judging a case like this.When we were all at d age I'm sure some did something related ,so why condemn youngsters for sex crime on open field in ghetto hood.Frankly ,I see nothing wrong hving seex in park,even here in uptown I did hv sex with my girls on beach,in park ,in car ,even at festival .hey this is no crime.
