Oh, grow up and read what I wrote. Did I ever say it was their fault?
Actually, when you said “Could they have easily avoided it altogether by not associating with such lowlifes? Easily.” it sounded like you put the blame on them.
Now run along, have a few more six packs, pass out and quit pestering me.
Well, I'm not, nor ever have disputed that they all deserved exoneration from the criminal charges. But of the three arrested and charged, one hired the strippers and the other two accepted invitations to the *performance*. All perfectly legal mind you, but if you're one of those folks who can not distinguish between "legal" behavior and "moral/ethical," behavior, then I suppose it's easy to understand how you hold them entirely blameless. Perhaps avoiding hiring strippers or turning down an invitation to a stripper party may be difficult for you, but I suspect for many people, either are easily avoided situations.
