Tuesday Update #2: NYT tonight with its report on trial and how it's already been "heard" via social media. And anti-sexual assault groups closely monitoring.
Tuesday update #1: Trial begins tomorrow. And what a shock: Defense attorney makes clear they will argue that the girl over and over "consented" to the sex acts and being carted around my young footballers. Plus GMA and 20/20 file this report, video and text, clearly showing they are absorbing much of defense team's spin on the "consent" angle.
Earlier: I covered the case extensively in early winter, including the protests, but then it faded from view as the trial was delayed. Meanwhile, more pressure was felt to bring charges against those who witnessed the alleged assaults and did nothing. But they still have not been charged--possibly because prosecutors needs their testimony. Here's a full AP report on trial (to be decided by one judge, not jury) of two alleged perps now set for this coming week.
