teens: Defence attorneys said the sex was consensual, according to Brandon Sun. They pointed to text messages in which the girl agreed to a sexual encounter; an explicit video the girl sent one of the teens; and security camera footage, which they said shows the girl running to meet one of the teens and willingly entering the restroom with him. Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy said at a Friday news conference that the rape and sex offence charges were being dropped after a painstaking investigation of the girl's claim that the two teens raped her in the bathroom at Rockville High School. McCarthy said the girl was interviewed multiple times and the investigation revealed a lack of corroboration and substantial inconsistencies. He refused to answer any questions after reading a statement. The original charges cannot be sustained, and prosecution is untenable on those charges, McCarthy said.
