Story here.

"Former Ware Shoals High School coach Jill Moore, 28, took cheerleaders to a motel, where they met guardsmen for sex, according to Greenwood County sheriff's reports released late Thursday.
...
Moore, a married mother of two, also is accused of having sex with a male student on a different occasion, according to the reports. Because all the students involved were 16 or older, none of the adults will be charged because the teens were old enough to consent under state law, according to the sheriff's reports.
...
Principal Jane Blackwell also is accused of telling cheerleaders and a school staff member not to talk about the allegations against Moore, authorities said. She was charged Monday with obstruction."

There were no sexual assaults there, all were willing participants. No criminal charges need to be laid to properly address this situation.

What they did - all of them including the cheerleaders - is in extremely poor taste to say the least. They all deserve reprimands.

The cheerleaders deserve to have this as a black mark on their school record as they were acting in a school capacity when the events took place. They are definitely not victims of anything and deserve disciplinary actions

The principal and coach deserve to have their teaching licenses revoked permanently and these events on their career records so that no other school makes the mistake of hiring them. They do not deserve to keep their careers.

The guardsmen deserve what they will get which is likely not to be a walk in the park. They are not being charged criminally but being charged under military codes of conduct is not getting off easy. They are not monsters or criminals and they definitely do not deserve permanent labels as sex offenders but they did show a severe lack of judgment and are deserving of some discipline for their irresponsible behavior.

That's the way I see it given the limited facts in the article anyway. I don't think there was a miscarriage of justice in this case at all. We're not talking about young children, we're talking about young women on the verge of adulthood and it's silly to assume they don't have the capacity or understanding to willingly get freaky with some young military men. This is youthful behavior not criminal.
