The De Anza rape case, in which three women witnessed the sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl, will not be moving forward. It sounds like prosecutors botched the case by offering immunity to three of the rapists, in hopes they would testify against their friends. Unsurprisingly, this strategy didn’t work out.

I’m disappointed with the criminal justice system, and would hope that at least De Anza College is taking some sort of action to change the culture of their baseball team, who hosted the party where the assault occurred (and, of course, to remove any of the rapists from campus).

The one bright spot in this is the fact that there are truly amazing people out there. These three women are heroes. They charged past nine men, in a situation that must have been absolutely terrifying, to carry the victim to safety. We need more people like them in the world.
