Anonymous for their efforts. They made a difference in the Stubenville, OH rape case after local authorities, school officials and many in the community attempted to turn their backs on justice for the victim. The focus by the hacktivist group and the larger public put a great deal of pressure on the locals and at the State level, to the point that Mike Dewine, Ohio Attorney General was pushed to investigate and impanel a Grand Jury. This is still in progress. The corrupt football coach is under scrutiny for having knowledge of the rape and failing to report it as required by law. Oddly enough, t
he school board just gave him a new contract, just demonstrates their craven disregard for the rights of others. The two convicted rapists are enjoying the accommodations of the state prison system.
Keep up the pressure on this latest example of injustice.
