What I meant was that teenagers engaging in sex is normal and common. I don't know if this kind of orgy of sorts is common these days but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it happens more often than we think. I heard stories about these kinds of things when I was in high school, especially from my friends who went to prep schools. Kids are very good at hiding their secrets from adults, and adults are very good at being oblivious to the reality of teenage life. Then some unlucky kids get caught and adults have to acknowledge that their kids may not be as pure and perfect as they thought, and they'd rather blame someone else than deal with that.

ashorama- one 15 year old girl giving blow jobs to 5 boys is "normal and common"? where the hell did you go to high school? where I went to high school, it might have been "normal" for one girl to give one boy a bj in the back of the bus. but then again, that was 15 years ago. this gangbang-of-sorts is far from "normal" or "common". but with that said, i also don't think that "rape" should be used against the parties involved. unless we know if the girl was forced to do it, "rape" should not be factored into it.

Thanks for posting this. Since I first heard about the case I've thought it was absolutely unjust that these kids were being prosecuted for something so normal and common — nevermind that the local media has been all over it. Come on, we all went to high school, we all know what happens in the back of the bus or in the dark abandoned classroom. The law is outdated and bogus and the misuse of the word "rape" makes these poor kids — who were just being kids — out to be monsters. Certainly if there was force involved, if the girl gave five blow jobs against her will somehow, then legal action would be appropriate. But as far as I know these were mutually consentual acts, so where the hell is the problem? What would be happening right now if the boys were 15 like the girl? What's the difference?
