Not alleged rape, RAPE. Period. There is no fucking ALLEGED here. He was 17, she was 14, he ADMITTED they had sex, and claimed it was consensual. That state's age of consent is 17. He ADMITTED to statutory rape, and it has NOT BEEN PROSECUTED.

WHY is the DOJ not all over this? WHY is the FBI not all over this?

HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE

But in the meantime, one of the "star" football playing rapists in the Steubenville case has just been released from prison. (After all, football is sacred!) That's justice for you!
