Social media casts spotlight on Ohio rape case
CNN ^ | Thursday, January 3, 2013 | Michael Pearson

Social media videos led to rape charges [Video]. The videos, pictures and tweets are chilling. A picture of a girl dangling limply from the arms of two young men.

Other boys, laughingly saying the girl had to be dead because she didn't flinch as her body was violated.

An alleged rape, made into a joke.

The images and social media messages are at the heart of criminal charges against two high school football players accused of sexually assaulting an underage teenage girl during a series of end-of-summer parties in August.

According to the poster that I have seen from the Brady Campain, thay apparently condone rape as opposed to a woman killing her attacker. One of the posters states that rape only takes 30 seconds. If I knew how to post those pictures of the posters I would do so.

There was a case here in Georgia a few years back about a football player named Genarlow Wilson who was charged with aggravated child molestation in an incident at a hotel with some underage girls. The liberals made a crusade out of the case, pointing out how this would ruin a promising future for the kid and how this wouldn’t be happening to him if he were white. They finally got his conviction overturned. There were even some FReepers here who were supportive of him. Yet the bottom line is that he had sex with a 17-year-old who was passed out drunk, and he even made a video of it. That is rape. Yet since he was some star football player who happened to be black, they got his conviction tossed. Nevermind that the victim was also black.

I am not fit to judge, but the guilty parties will eventually have to stand before God and account for this heinous dispicable act. I for one would not want to experience the raw terror of looking God in the eye and trying to explain this away.

Any punishment they get on earth, and it should be severe, is going to be cake compared to standing before the Lord and taking his punishment.

I'm with you. If the victim was my daughter there wouldn't be any "defendants" left alive by now. Save the courts a lot of money.

Good memory. I couldn't remember any details of the case.

Looking back, I remember thinking that only the Left would excuse crimes against women, if it would embarrass a conservative (in this case, GA).

The outcome of the case (in the NY press) made it seem that GA wasn't interested in the law, but punishing an up and coming black student. Reality was different.

The conviction was based on an amateur video tape showing Wilson engaging in sex with a 17-year-old girl during a private New Year's Eve party at a hotel room in 2003, and later being offered and receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old girl.[7][8] The video shows the 17-year-old girl on the bathroom floor, then later having sex with Wilson. She appeared sleepy or intoxicated during the sex act but did not ask Wilson to stop.[9] Waking up naked and disoriented the next morning, she claimed to have been raped.[8] Investigating the alleged rape, police later found condoms and evidence of drinking, as well as the video camera, in the motel room used for the party.[9]

A jury acquitted Wilson of raping the older girl, but convicted him of aggravated child molestation against the 15-year-old. The "aggravated" nature of the charge refers to fellatio (oral sex) rather than a mere "immoral or indecent act". Had the two teenagers had intercourse without oral sex, Wilson would have been charged with a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 12 months in jail, with no sex offender status, instead of the mandatory 10-year minimum term that the judge gave him.

I remember that case well. After being inundated with the biased coverage in the Atlanta paper, I finally canceled our subscription. So some good came of the whole thing.

I’m not condoning rape, if that is what it was, but the inner cities are full of 35 year old grandmothers(do the math).

Interesting to me to see that the media never gave up on promoting the image of Genarlow Wilson as an innocent victim of bias against black males. But even the Obama voters were not buying it--at least not entirely. Case in point: Ebony magazine was recently forced to back down from a pro-Genarlow piece after their readership (largely black women) turned on them big-time:

‘Ebony’ Apologizes, Removes Genarlow Wilson Article After Fierce Backlash From Readers

The Genarlow story is a good indication of where mainstream America itself is headed. Without fathers in their lives, black kids are left to their own devices, and black mothers turn to the police to enforce discipline fathers would once have imposed. The mother of the girl with whom Genarlow was involved called the police as a way of defending her daughter. The leftist Civil Rights crowd turned on her to take up the young man's cause (on the grounds that all teens engage in a little rape-fun on New Years Eve). Genarlow came out a hero; her daughter was derided as just one more slut.

Nobody really cares that this goes on every day inside of our nation's many zoos known as 'ghettos", these were clean-cut white kids in Suburbia - probably why it's a story.

The surprise was the stupid white kid going on and on with another stupid white kid filming and giggling like a little girl, while the black kids in the room were angry and told him that he was going to go to jail and they were thinking of going in the room to rescue the girl and beat the other stupid white kids who were raping her and urinating on her.

IMHO the only real young men in that room were the black kids who were dressed all ghetto and talked ghetto, but what came out of their mouths was the only wisdom in the whole video.

The video does not actually show the rape nor the victim, but simply a stupid white boy ranting on and on about the assault and how it was all so funny for him.

You are not missing much, it will only make you want to kick his teeth in.
