Nate: If you followed the case the three young men were not criminally charges with any offense and, therefore, were not convicted of any crime.  Thus, the term "alleged" is correct.  The DA determined that the department could not present a strong enough case to get a conviction and, therefore, chose not to prosecute.  The police report is availabe as are all the RG stories regarding the incident.  You may feel it was sexual assault, I may feel it was sexual assault, but "guilt" is determined by our court system.  To use your condescending and patronizing  term, "See the difference?"  Gary Crum
