If she had simply twitted the accusation of rape with their pictures. printed up a couple of thousand flyers and stuck them up all over town she would have been free of court penalties.

That would have been a felony, carrying more jail time than she was threatened with and accomplishing no more than trying to follow the law. She was 17. Their pictures that they shared so proudly with friends were illegal child pornography. There are other options, but I'll leave those to the imagination of responsible parents and siblings of rape victims.
