Gang Injustice

Politically, Carr’s refusal to press charges has not been popular. Lauren Breayans, Lauren Chief Elk and April Grolle — three soccer players who say they saw the girl being sexually assaulted and brought her to the hospital — issued a statement voicing their disappointment “in the entire criminal justice system. The message seems to be, if you get an underage girl drunk enough, you can get away with rape.”
