woman in YouTube 'rape' is arrested over underage sex allegations

[LTR]

It was the shocking video that caused outrage and led to calls for YouTube to vet all its content.

The three-minute clip, filmed on a mobile phone, apparently showed a young and unconscious mother being gang raped as she lay helpless in her own home.

It was posted on the popular video-sharing website, which is owned by Google, within hours of the incident on November 6 and was viewed more than 600 times.

But yesterday it was revealed that the 24-year-old woman has now been arrested on suspicion of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old and perverting the course of justice.

Scotland Yard confirmed it will take no further action against two 16-year-olds and a 14-year-old arrested in February in connection with the video.

How can an unconscious woman who was raped be arrested for molesting her 14 year-old assailant?

2. It isn't entirely clear, but

It seems to me as if the police are now alleging that the "rape" was faked, and she was a willing participant.

5. Hmmmm, perhaps they're suggesting it was staged

It doesn't really say. The only reason I say that is because they way they quote the word rape in the title.

7. I'm so glad I miss much of this stuff.

First I've heard of this YouTube rape video, and I'm quite thankful.
