I've been waiting to hear more about this case. The R V Skaf cases have been useful cases for legal students because of their issues with juries,
evidence, prompting new legislation, victim impact statements, and public outcry. Since then I've not been able to find a case that has exercised the legislation of sexual assault in company.
Until today. The link is here:

They all pleaded not-guilty, but were all found guilty. The victim didn't originally report the crime, but the GoPro footage was found (not sure by who, but it appears a stranger), and passed onto police, and the police identified her and assisted with pressing charges. The victim was unconscious at the time of the assault, and therefore could not give consent.
I'm especially interested in the sentencing, so when more comes out I will post more. I'm interested because the sentencing of the Skaf case was so extreme (and then slashed to be shortened several times) so I will be very interested in how this case measures up, given its similarities, but also its differences.
