Nothing triggering there, I hope. Then again, having 'Steubenville' in the title is probably warning enough.

I am glad that the AG isn't letting this drop, but I'm sure she and her family are looking forward to finding peace someday.
Sameday after they find Justice, that is.

I've seen that 'busted bitches' site. It manages to be foul and stupid at the same time.
redqueen
(115,096 posts)I really hope pornographers don't use this crime as inspiration ... that's just beyond the pale.

(41,919 posts)Porn follows trends, there's already 'drunk porn' and 'sleeping porn', and of course 'rape porn' Sites like 'Public disgrace' where the goal is extreme sexual activity and the accompanying humiliation in public. It's all there. They throw shit together pretty fast.

Children, rape, degradation, snuff--you name it.

This seems to be a bad cesspool, but Steubenville is not unique. The atty gen called it a national problem.

(39,154 posts)rapists belong in prison even if they are your self-entitled, arrogant sons. The best part of this verdict is that two more sociopaths will be forever excluded from any kind of leadership.

Try a death threat, works every time.
And it makes you feel like a big man which is really what it's all about anyway, isn't it?

(16,993 posts)World gone crazy. With all the right wing hate talk fueling the ignorance and hatred within people, this is the outcome, I guess.
Note to people: Rape is a violent crime. It is ALWAYS wrong. It doesn't matter how the victim is dressed, if they're drunk, or if they're passed out. If they haven't agreed to the act, or say no, STOP.
Who the hell thinks it's fun having sex with someone that's passed out or too drunk to participate, anyway? Sick, sick, sick.
