but what these , what are they? boy? I dont know. Whtever they are, what they did was criminal. They should have plead guilty and faced the music like , what the hope to one day be, men. Maybe the world would respect that and we could all move on. But noooooooooooooo
once again , we are dragged over the coals, as these , ....children ? insist they are innocent ....

They are guilty. They will live in confinement.

who got them the apartment and let them think that everything they did was ok. They lead them to believe they could get away with everything.

That does not excuse them. It's just that the adults who set these boys up as God's also need to fall.

and apparently a few who tried to cover shit up, need to fall for it as well.

AG DeWine will announce over the next few days if he will pursue charges against others. We can hope.

He was a horrible Senator but is doing well as AG.

Which is a shame, since their actions afterwards showed they clearly knew what they did, and continued to inflict damage on this young woman afterwards, through all their texts and pics.

and have spoke to Correction Officers who have worked at DYS(Dept of Youth Services{kiddie prison}) and they say they would much rather work in the Adult Prison because at least the adults think a little before they do what they do and there is an underlying "respect" with the adults that does not exsist in DYS. My problem is that they will only go until they are 21.......their sentence should be extended into adulthood and once they have served their time till 21 in DYS they should be transfered to ODRC and serve out several more years.

My guess is that the latest he'll stay is to age 18 so as not to "ruin his future." No regard for the young woman's future being ruined. She'll never be the same. And he did this to himself. It would've been bad enough just the one night, for HOURS...but he kept it up throughout the night and throughout the next day, texting and sending pics and laughing and bragging. No normal young man would do that. There's something wrong with him.
