I tend to agree. But I wonder what good this information will do for the defense. The talking heads are saying that a jury will never see it (assuming this case goes to court) due to rape shield laws.
The men involved will undoubtedly be identified soon.
The men may come out and defend themselves by making statements to reporters denying any rape occurred.
If the men are willing to swear to that, then that could give the defense their opening, to argue that the prior accusation and the current denials should come in as probative of credibility.
