three (or five) large, strong guys over a period of thirty minutes. Granting your point that a forcible rape wouldn't necessarily leave any visible trauma -- wouldn't the kind of assault described by this accuser be expected to leave some marks?

I agree with you that having elections for prosecutors seems like a very dumb idea. I was just about to say that I thought our federal system was much better (appointed prosecutors), when I realized who is in charge of appointing them. So maybe the situation is hopeless.

As the the idea of redress, if the students turn out to be "not guilty." I understand there is very little that can be done, in that case. Actions here for malicious prosecution are notoriously difficult to win, if that's the kind of redress you're talking about. And the state won't be repaying the students' parents for all the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars spent in attorneys' fees.
