However, at the conclusion of their trial yesterday, the jury found the men unanimously guilty of engaging in sexual penetration of a female without her consent.
Following the guilty verdicts, Justice Barlow remanded them to prison until October 14 for sentencing, probation report, and victim impact statement.
