The Blogger Who “Complicated” The Steubenville Gang Rape Case

[Danascot]

"The Steubenville rape case has come to an end and the verdict has been heard.

"Two Ohio high school football players were found guilty of raping a drunk 16-year-old girl.

"On Sunday, Judge Thomas Lipps ruled that Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, digitally penetrated the West Virginia teenager known only as "Jane Doe."

"Their punishment? Richmond will be held at a juvenile detention facility for at least a year and Mays for at least two years. Both are required to register as juvenile sex offenders, and the juvenile system can hold them until they are 21 years old.

"As a blogger who first reported on the Twitter messages surrounding the alcohol-fueled party -- many messages later deleted -- it is sometimes surreal to look back and revisit the events of the past eight months."

2. I hope justice in Steubenville just keeps on rolling.

We need many more brave and honorable people like Alexandria Goddard. Considering the unspeakable harassment she suffered, I am so pleased to see that she is receiving enormous support via twitter.
