22. I'm not an attorney, but this case has 'criminal conspiracy' written all over it to my untutored

imagination.

Which means each co-conspirator is equally guilty of any and all acts of any of the other conspirators. (Vincent Bugliosi, in Reclaiming History calls this the "vicarious liability theory of conspiracy, which holds that each member of a conspiracy is criminally responsible for all crimes committed by his co-conspirators in pursuance of the objective of the conspiracy" (emphasis added, p. 1296).

Thus, if the objective of the conspiracy was 'revenge' (making this a case of 'revenge rape' or 'revenge sexual assault'), all conspirators to that objective are equally guilty whether they had genital contact with the victim or witnessed said contact.

Does this analysis match your understanding?
