I wondered that, too. I know a girl who was attacked and she ballooned in the months after. At the same time, I have to admit this gives me shades of the UVA hoax (or any of the other similar hoaxes). I just have a hard time buying these gang rape stories in this day and age--in any day and age, really, but especially now. Especially the idea that a gang-rapist would call her sweetie and promise it would be over soon, like, wtf?
