They were facing up to 93 years in prison for the rape and obscene content distribution charges and the prosecutor agreed to a plea deal of one year probation, 100 hours of community services, and an agreement to cease posting content to social media. People have gotten worse sentences for simple marijuana possession. Sometimes the criminal justice system makes absolutely no sense to me.
I presume the issue here is that the DA did not believe they could prove beyond reasonable doubt that this was assault and not a model regretting she did a porn shoot.
It vaguely sounds like they had an OF that did a bunch of these shoots, and presumably the DA didn't manage to get any other girls on record saying they were assaulted (how hard they tried etc is unclear).
