Hi, I'm new here, and I really, really hope I'm posting this in the right spot so I don't look like an idiot. But I'm writing a rather complicated story right now and could use some tips...
Okay, so the story is loosely based on the plot of I Spit on Your Grave. (If you haven't seen the movie, it's about a woman who is gang raped and left for dead, but she survives and comes back for revenge. Morbid stuff, I know.) In my story, the victim is a 17-year-old girl and she is attacked by four boys, all between the ages of 16 and 17. It takes place under the bleachers at the high school they all attend, and one of the boys starts to strangle her in the heat of the moment. They all get scared and run away when they think she's dead, and the next morning she is discovered, still alive, by a teacher who takes her to the hospital. The boys recorded the whole thing on a cell phone, and they didn't use condoms, so there's evidence all over her. Which brings me to my question... would it be possible for the boys to get away with it? For my female character to get her revenge, I need the boys to pretty much get off scot-free. Or at least with just a slap on the wrist. One of the boys has a father who's a prominent attorney, and the girl has a reputation as being rather loose, so I'm not sure if that would help or not. I also wanted the video of the attack to end up online, but again, not sure the boys would be able to pull that off without getting into major trouble. So. Yeah, I could really use some advice. If you have any, please let me know. It'd be much appreciated!
