Please see my edit above and accept an apology.Redwood, I don't know how to be more clear. There are sexual offenses in the first (rape), second (rape), third degree (sexual contact). There is also ATTEMPTED rape in the first or second degree. That is where the rape is not completed, but attempted. Those are also felonies. It would be up to lawyers, judges to decide what it would be considered in reality and I am neither, but in my lay view, it certainly sounded like a rape that was interrupted by the friend jumping on them. The therapist notes referred it to as attempted rape.
Though I doubt that he would have been charged with a felony given their ages, both drunk, no prior misconduct, etc. Courts don't tend to do that. You may not agree with that but everything has to be taken into account and weighed accordingly.
