I found this particularly sickening:

"The only reason we're here is because we've got a championship wrestler among the accused," said Bruce McDougal, attorney for one of the wrestlers. He claimed three other serious sexual harassment incidents had occurred this year at the high school and the longest suspension had been three days.

As though serious cases are not really to be punished much anyway! Plus, should't a "champ" set an example and be a GOOD example? Whatever happened to that concept?!

Don, with all due respect, it would seem there wouldn't be much a 120 pounder could do against one of 275 pounds who also has a bruiser buddy helping out. In the case of rape, Unless a woman is well-trained in self-defense or martial arts, etc. it's a fact that she is better off not fighting during a rape because that usually incites the rapist to be more violent. Of course, then she is suspect for not fighting. I speak from exeprience; fighting him off got me thrown across a room and almost choked to death. Still, you have a good point; I don't know if I could have come through it so well, mentally, if I hadn't put up a fight.

The other thing which bothers me about this case is it says the perps are from "prominent families." I am not saying they are members of the LDS church, but most prominent folks are in Utah and they do have a reputation for closing ranks and protecting their own. I mean no offence to anyone who may be a member. I speak from experience in this case, too, having been married to an LDS member at one time and having grown up with so many friends and some relatives who are LDS.
