42. young guys + alcohol + strippers = trouble
"This young woman ended up in the vulnerable position of being a sex worker because she was trying to better her family and her education." - Give me a break.

Of course once a woman says "no", whether she is a stripper or not, then it's rape. But that they were strippers should at least give rise to some pause before declaring the students guilty and hanging them without due process.

That said, everyone should calm down until the DNA tests are completed. If the charges are true DNA tests will prove it. If there is no matching DNA from all the athletes (my understanding is that ALL gave samples) then it was a lie and they are getting a bad rap.

Did any of you ever attend a party with strippers? I did in my younger days and every single time they were looking to make additional money by prostituting themselves on the side (which I passed on). For all we know it was the guys who said "no" in this case and pissed off the girls.

What happened to the presumption of innocense? It does not exist at DU?
