I only vaguely recall this case from when it happened, so I re-read the article, and from it, her intention and purpose for going with these guys is dubious at best. However, given that the first trial was acquitted, and the delicate nature of the situation pertaining to her intentions versus what actually happened - especially since she claims she didn't know she had been victimized until someone told her about it(???) ...
Here's my take on what happened: Like many teenagers, she wanted to be liked by the popular kids, agreed to group sex with these guys who were willing to take advantage, and once things were underway, they drugged her and did a lot of nasty shit to her that she - even though she agreed to have sex with the boys - obviously wouldn't have "gone along" with had she been conscious. So, it's easy to see why this is such an ugly case, because even though the crime is clear-cut, the context in which it occurred is muddled.
