I'm very disappointed in this, but given the description of what the witnesses said, I'm not very surprised. With only the victim testifying that he was penetrated, and a bunch of witnesses recanting their statements, it's very, very difficult to prove sexual assault.
It's a shame that they didn't include simple assault as a lesser included offense, as Shippert's testimony was essentially a confession to assault.
Anyone who thinks simulating a sexual act on an unwilling victim is funny is in serious need of psychological help.
