as far as police negligence goes. The local law enforcement, esp. the Gilmer County Sheriff's Dept. has been way above board as far as the investigation has been handled.

The thing that is puzzling to everyone in this community is, if all of the people at the party knew this was going on, why didn't someone step in. Why didn't someone stop it. Why didn't someone give aid/comfort to this young woman.

My guess is that they will all plead "I was too drunk" and get away with a $1,000 fine for under-age drinking, and most families will breathe a sigh of relief that their kids didn't get caught up in this "scandal."
