It crossed a moral and legal line, and even the five alleged perpetrators understand that and have expressed regret,” said Assistant County Prosecutor Duane Deskins, who heads the office’s Juvenile Division. People were so disgusted by the incident, which took place Aug. 18, that it garnered national attention.
