1Opinion of the CourtUnderwood, J.
The two defendants and three other men were accused by two women of repeated sexual assaults upon them in a late-night gang rape at a secluded cabin in Williston. Following combined trials, a jury found both defendants guilty of sexual assault, 13 V.S.A. § 3252(1) (A), upon each of the women.
