I’m not in favor of Old Testament rape law, but it does seem like if there’s one place a woman ought to be able to scream and be heard, it’s a close-packed tent encampment.
Getting stoned and having wild sex can also cause screaming. Those around her, if she screamed, may have chosen to assume it was not the worst case scenario.
The fact that the organizers of OWS are choosing to fight those coming forward could be latent guilt, an effort to minimize the appearance of what they chose to ignore.
