They would need a reason to "settle" with her.
1. They can not say we are paying her not to testify. That is illegal.
2. They can not say they are paying her because the raped her. They would then be prosecuted based on their admission.
3. So they settle any action she would have against them for calling her names.
As I said they have to have a reason to give her money.
Providing there was no rape any money that she was to get would only see more claim rape trying to get paid too.
Some may chose to 'settle' on something other than the truth but I know I could not do such a thing.
Personally, I would rather get jailtime from a jury that is out to lynch me than admit to ( or even give the appearence of admitting to) something I know I did not do.
People can arrange to take alot of things away from you but noone can steal your Honor or your Pride. Only you can give that up on your own. Imho, there is no amount of money that could substitute for either of those two things.
What if two of them weren't even there when the name calling was going on?
We know that the name calling went both ways anyway.
offering money to me is admitting some kind of predicament and it will hang over these young men's heads forever....
