My question involves criminal law for the state of:
hi all, i'm a new writer and in my pursuit in trying to write a novel with factual law and use of precedents to make this more current.
back in the 1980's jodi foster starred in a movie called the accused which was based on an actual rape case. The film was loosely based on the 1983 gang rape of Cheryl Araujo in New Bedford, Massachusetts, the owner was found in fault and forced to close down his bar because he didn't stop nor aid the girl.
which law was used for this?
in the movie, the lawyers went after the men that cheered and "egged on" the rape to occur.
this is where it gets murky for me.
is there a law that allows the prosecution of those who stand by and do nothing? was it a criminal law or a civil law? state or federal?
i'm asking as my book centers around similar circs.
