In a perfect world, going to the authorities results in justice and a punishment that suits the crime. But this is not a perfect world and the result of these school administrators getting the police involved was that the police were forced to administer justice that would be acceptable to the politically-correct powers that govern our institutions. It is not justice to label a kid as a sex offender for life just for playing a little mutual grab ass with some female classmates.
This could have been a "learning moment" where the boys AND girls were taught the lesson of mutual respect.
Instead, they were taught that if you have an axe to grind, you can get the authorities involved and if you're on the politically correct side, you can exact your punishment.
I've never read anything that indicated it was 'mutual' - in fact, all I've read says just the opposite. Got any reliable information that shows it was mutual?

The victims asked that the charges be dropped after it was discovered that these boys would be labeled for life. The boys ended up paying $250 to each of the girls and apologizing publically. Seems like an okay outcome to me.
