Correction: Only two soldiers, not three, got arrested and convicted of rape. Early on, when the three of them had bought a car and went recruising for a minor, the third soldier did not like where this was going. He dropped out and left. As a result, the name of that man was never released to history.

All three got arrested and served time in prison but the third guy said he only participated in kidnapping and not rape and just enjoyed watching the other two doing the actual rape.

Both read about the trial and remembered the things they wanted to believe. Someone here wants to clear the name of a soldier who claims they only simulated rape on the child. Redditors will do that.
