firstly, I dont think "retard" is considered a very appropriate term for someone with educational disabilitiues
secondly, forcing someone to engage in oral sex through the use of violence is rape, not "sexual assault" - as such they should be prosecuted accordinly, and if found guilty they should receive the appropriate treatment for rape crimes - which would be a significant custodial sentence and rehibiliation programme (sic)
As for the bystanders, I think we woudl need to know more... some of them did seek help, some of them may not have fully understood what was going on, some may have been threatened with violence also... anyone who was participating in the attack or assisting it in anyway of course should be prosecuted acordingly.
Im not sure how much of a political debate there can be here,
If these kids raped a girl, then they will be punished by the law for rape.
if it is shown the school administration attempted to obstruct the course of justice, then they shall be punished according to the law
A criminal investigation is necessary, and will take place, and those who have broken the law will answer to it.
Of course, it is a horrible event, but I dont see the "politics" side of it. if someone attempts to supress evidence and obstruct justice, whether they are a school administrator or anyone else, this is a crime and they will be prosecuted for it, and tried before a jury, and sentenced to jail time if found guilty. Where is there a debate about how this should be treated? To me it is pretty clear.
