Gregory Haidl, Keith Spann and Kyle Nachreiner, all 19, had been charged with 24 counts, including one count of assault with a deadly weapon.

Defense attorneys and a middle-aged male juror told CNN that 11 jurors voted "not guilty" on the first four counts -- two counts of rape by intoxication and two counts of oral copulation by intoxication.

The alleged rape was videotaped by Haidl July 5, 2002, during a party at the home of his father, Don Haidl, a top-ranking sheriff's official in Corona del Mar.

Prosecutors relied on the tape as the most critical piece of evidence, telling jurors throughout the trial that all of the crimes can be seen on tape.

She is amazingly strong, being able to go on the stand and hear the scum defense lawyer infer she's an 'aspiring porn star'.
