For example, there are people who for religious reason don’t what what to be touched by any member of the opposite sex who isn’t a relative or spouse. Yet we don’t demand consent before touching in social situations even though some people might object to being touched.
The law surely does require consent. Implied-consent-from-social-context is different from overriding non-consent.
Not obvious given that the Steubenville victim didn’t even know about it and thus couldn’t have suffered trauma until she found out about it several days later.
Given how the perpetrators acted, it was virtually certain the victim would find out. Parading her around and bragging about what they’d done might not have been done with the purpose of causing her to find out or humiliate her. But it certainly was an easily predictable consequence.

Also, I doubt that they suffer anywhere near the level of trauma from this compared to the Steubenville victim.

Would you have objected it they hadn’t bragged about it and posted pictures on their website?
That’s irrelevant as she did find out, probably would have found out eventually, and almost everybody strongly values knowing what happened to them.
