How does that saying go, "If you lay down with dogs, don't be surprised if you get up with fleas..."
I haven't followed the story in depth, but everything I've heard does indicate that the stripper is some sort of a pathologic lier -- and the prosecutor's office is playing this for all it's worth (they've gotten more than their fair share of 10 minutes of fame), but I see these "bright young men" (to use your term) as more than a little responsible for the predicament they find themselves in.
If you have/attend a drunken party with strippers (we all know that many stripping services are fronts for prostitution), you shouldn't be too surprised if you happen to find yourself embroiled in controversy.
If this thing actually goes to trial, I think it will have been carried too far, but if the prosecutor is just holding off on dropping the charges to make these "bright young men" sweat a little more, I can't say I'm in total disagreement with the action.
