Because multiple participants in a rape is by statutory definition First Degree Rape (used to be Aggravated Rape), and the sentence for First Degree Rape is mandatory life without the opportunity for parole.

Mandatory minimum after refusing a much lesser deal. She rolled the dice at the time and lost.
