128. They're also terribly humiliated
and terrified. The rapists and their friends sometimes contact the victims and make threats to keep them from pursuing legal action.

My college roommate was gang raped in during my freshman year (back during the 1970's) by a group of guys at a frat party. I wasn't there that weekend, but the aftermath was horrible. She was stalked, harassed, etc. She was a straight A student but ended up getting expelled from school because of it. I was even stalked and threatened, got obscene phone calls in the middle of the night.

The rapists were "exonerated" and last time I checked the college alum directory, some of them were teaching high school.
