Brian Fail, 21, rolled the dice and went to trial for the alleged rape of a 17-year-old girl who claimed he forced her to have sex with two other young men in a filthy garage.

A jury found him not guilty. He was lucky.

He and his attorney claimed no force or threat of force was used coerce the girl to have sex with the others. The only evidence against him was the word of the girl who was portrayed as someone who regretted her own conduct after that night.

Who knows?

The girl got to tell her story to a jury and the jury understandably had reasonable doubt to whether the crime of rape occurred.

The same jury had no reasonable doubt that Fail was guilty of corrupting the morals of a minor.

What Fail claims he did was itself a sleazy and contemptible thing. There can be no reasonable doubt about that.
