You are a defense attorney in a small college town in northern New England. At a local bar, you overhear some seniors brag about their sexual conquests. A month later, a case arrives on your desk: the men who you overheard have been accused of statutory rape. Because it is a small town, public defenders are few and far between, so denying the case might mean a mistrial. Under what circumstances would you take the case, and under what circumstances would you reject it?

What will be an ideal response?
