The absence of actual sex-related charges is a very good omen for the band: DNA matches won't matter if there's any reason to believe that the sex was consensual. They can also raise the question of why the friend didn't report "witnessing a rape" once she had made good her "escape."
In addition, was the friend asked for oral sex by the singer before or after the friend witnessed his sex with the victim? And as for the victim, after she decided to leave but to use the bathroom first, why didn't she just close the door behind her if she didn't appreciate being followed?
Was all of this actually a little alcohol-fueled mutual groupie action that went overboard?
