Sure, they're partly to blame.
But, if not for the fact that these nice young gentlemen hired a stripper (dog) to bump and grind for their lovely little party, NONE of the damage (fleas) would have occurred.
A stripper with integrity issues? Good heavens, what's next?!!!
Throw the book at Nifong. But, spare me the crying about the boys' reputations.
It could have been any woman at any time. The fact that she's a stripper is not relevant.
Thank you Mother Teresa.
You sound just a bit santimonious my friend.
Sounds like you never went to college. That is SOP for most frat parties. Get a life.

This is truly a stupid comment. If they hadn't gotten out of bed that day, this wouldn't have happened either.
They engaged the services of someone offering those services. Was it tasteful? No. Was it responsible? No, but I'll leave the judgement of that to their coach and parents. Where in the world do you get that engaging in immature, silly, and even stupid, behavior puts someone on the hook for malicious prosecution, defamation, false arrest, etc?
Getting arrested for rape isn't even a remotely foreseeable consequence of hiring a stripper. Getting yelled at or suspended by the coach is, and if that were the case, you might have a point. But here, your idea is ludicrous.
I see. Anyone who has attended a strip show deserves the same reputation as a brutal rapist. So no harm done here.
By the way, how are things up there on planet Head Up Your Ass nowadays?

Oh come on. Is hiring strippers a good thing? No. Does it warrent having your reputation destroyed like this? Of course not.
Stripping is legal, and from what I understand the team hired the strippers through a legitimate agency. Whether or not one likes strippers from a moral perspective, I see no reason why a group of people who have sufficient self-control to refrain from actually committing sexual assault should face any more legal danger from hiring a stripper than from hiring a magician, lounge singer, or other entertainer.
Actually, I'd say the students involved exercised pretty good judgement in documenting their actions and whereabouts. Their biggest mistake was taking up residence in Nifong's jurisdiction. That's the real sine qua non of this whole affair.
I would guess that better than half the men in America have either been to parties or bars where strippers performed.
GMAB. Take your whining and shove it.
