I read it too, which part are you referring to specifically implies rape?

This is my statement. I will defend it.

You must read the ad within the larger context of the news to which it is referring. That news was that these young men had committed rape.

When you're reviewing a libel allegation to see if it is well founded you don't leave common sense at the door and parse individual words in isolation of the context in which there were uttered.

Thanks. Ok, I got it. You're talking about the totally context of the ad and the foundation of why it was constructed.

I can see how the context would accuse these boys. Good point.
