She was drunk in the street, which is bad for her, but there she was at least largely at fault (or was there any claim she'd been drugged?) for that, and it sounds like "really drunk in public" wasn't real unusual for the students there.

Agreed, but what significance does this hold? She was drunk because she drank too much, like 90% of kids her age inevitably do at some point in the growing-up process. Am I missing a point here?

She was treated like a rag doll, and then the players stuck fingers in her- they deserve whatever they get, but she was passed out for that.

If she wasn't passed out, or incoherent, she could have said no to having those fingers put inside her. Or she could have said yes. In either event, there'd be no crime. So your point is?

Careful now, I'm not saying the players didn't do bad crimes- they did, and they should go to jail. And the people that posted stuff, while vile, maybe didn't do anything that is a crime.
But the worst horror for her may be the crap shared on the internet that will be there next year, and when she looks at the internet in 20 years it'll probably still be there. And she knows everyone at school has seen it, and she has seen it, and it revisits the horror every time she looks.

Am I understanding this? You seem to be suggesting the victim's life is potentially ruined because she was victimized? Well, I guess I understand that it would make some people uncomfortable around her to know what happened to her. But those people would be few. I mean, really, am I going to think badly of a woman who was sexually assaulted? No. It's illogical. I'd feel bad for her, and be cautious not to say things that might cause her to think about the incident. And am I going to think she contributed to it because she was drunk? Hell no. This is even more illogical.
She will feel embarrassed and humiliated by those photos. But I highly doubt she will suffer any negative scrutiny from people as a result of them.
