This is completely horrible

I was reading this from a series of links from Pandagon.net. A young girl of 17 was allegedly gang-raped by three men. She reported it to the police at the urging of her friends and there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute. If it ended there, that is bad enough for the victim of the crime.

But it wasn't. The police then decided to prosecute her for filing a false report because she didn't act like the "typical rape victim" so of course she's lying. That is so fucked up!! The judge apparently didn't believe the men's version of what happened nor did he believe the victim's version. The judge used the testimony of the victim's friends as evidence of her "lying" and then charged her friends with conspiracy.

How does that work exactly? They are good enough witnesses to convict but they were allegedly lying for her so they should face charges as well? It is so fucked up.
