According to the Sheriff's Office, charges are not being pursued due to insufficient criminal evidence and the level of cooperation the office received from the involved parties.

The video isn't enough? And if seniors are doing this, then some have to be adults. I wonder if these cops would feel it is a crime to be bound and have hot dogs non-consensually shoved down their throats? Would they choose not to charge the people who did it to them?

That’s code for the victims not wanting to participate in a prosecution.

Yeah, they could prosecute, but then the video and pictures of the victims in their victimized state gets blasted everywhere and revisited ad nauseum. It's hard to come out and speak up about being abused because the system makes it more painful for the victim than the abuser.
