Yes. Of course it depends in the applicable facts but multiple people can be charged in such circumstances. Your boyfriend needs to consult an attorney.

All can be charged. The real issue is proving who did it. I really recommend retaining counsel. If your boyfriend was present, at the very least he is a witness. At most, he is liable on an equal level as the others. In many cases, the first defendant to work a plea agreement will get the best deal.
