(UPDATED) The Two Young Girls Who Threatened Steubenville Rape Victim Get House Arrest And Their Internets Taken Away

(UPDATED) The Two Young Girls Who Threatened Steubenville Rape Victim Get House Arrest And Their Internets Taken Away

I don’t think either of the two young girls who posted messages on Twitter after the Steubenville rape case verdict was announced were really going to “Beat the shit out of ” or “commit a homicide” towards the 16-year-old rape victim, Jane Doe. I think they were just being stupid, as teen girls sometimes do. Maybe their parents never talked to them about the proper attitude of sympathy and support for rape victims. Maybe they don’t fully realize that they have a one in five chance of being a victim of a rape themselves. More »

Steubenville Plans Uplifting Pep Rally For Coach Reno As He Faces Allegations He Failed To Report A Rape

Steubenville Plans Uplifting Pep Rally For Coach Reno As He Faces Allegations He Failed To Report A Rape

No one is disputing that Coach Reno Saccoccia is a very good football coach, but due to the fact he may have known (And if we are going on the text messages presented in court, that he DID know) that some of his star players had raped a girl and he kept them on the team for eight more games, I can’t quite wrap my mind around the idea of celebrating this man who is facing some extremely serious allegations.

Anthony Craig also witnessed this, and testified “She wasn’t moving, she wasn’t talking, she wasn’t participating.” The people who were “participating” were Mays, who was “smacking” his penis against the girl’s hip, and Richmond, who was penetrating the victim with his fingers “halfway the the knuckle.” More »

Outraged Moms Say We Can No Longer Discuss Steubenville Gang Rape Case

Outraged Moms Say We Can No Longer Discuss Steubenville Gang Rape Case

I will say this from a mother’s perspective: if there was a situation where I lived like the one in Steubenville I would welcome the media attention and protests, because as a parent I would want people trying to vocalize their dislike against rape and the sexual victimization of others. I would want to know that there are strangers in this world willing to drive for hours and spend their hard-earned money on gas and stand out in the freezing cold to speak out against rape. I would appreciate writers and bloggers and journalists covering the story because I have young kids, and I don’t want any of them to ever be raped or to rape anyone else. As a mom and a woman and as a human, I cannot understand creating a petition to silence those who object to something as soul-destroying and horrid as rape. I guess I’m surprised that some moms in Steubenville don’t feel the same. More »

Occupy Steubenville Rally Marked By Snow, Ice And Support For Rape Victims - Live Feed Now

Local residents have been invited to speak, but so far only members affiliated with Anonymous have taken the mic. Currently a woman is peaking of a past rape but due to the wind it’s difficult to make out everything she is saying. Protesters are attempting to shield the speaker. The majority of sentiments expressed by the speakers thus far are about stopping violence against women and demands for ending the rape culture prevalent all over the world. The speeches are interjected with suggestions that the attendees hug each other, which is a far cry from the statements regarding “violence” and “hatred” that residents have claimed are directed at their city.

Steubenville Moms Are Rape-Jacking Because They Feel Victimized By Rape Victim

Steubenville Moms Are Rape-Jacking Because They Feel Victimized By Rape Victim

Recently various sources released the probable cause transcripts in the court case involving the alleged rape that took place in Steubenville, Ohio during parties that were held at various locations on August 11th. I won’t link or post the transcripts here, because they name the underage victim in the case and I just don’t feel right about that. The transcripts are public knowledge, but I feel this girl has been victimized enough. I’ve read the transcripts myself, and even though they incidents describe no actual penis-to-vagina penetration, what they do describe is rape. And even though there are many individuals who want to argue this point with me, I stand by my belief that an unconscious individual cannot give consent to a sexual encounter. Hence, I will continue to use the word “rape” – because that is exactly what it is. More »
