The now infamous Steubenville High School football coach Reno Saccocia — of the now equally infamous “Reno took care of it” text messages — just got his employment renewed. An employee who fails to report the rape of an underage unconscious girl — and furthermore protects the rapists — doesn’t exactly scream “employment renewal.” But not to Steubenbille High School apparently.
Today, I have trouble moving on from events like the shooting in Newtown, the rape of a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio, and the pointless and tragic loss of life at the Boston Marathon bombings. Every face of every child that is lost or violated is my daughter’s, and I wrack my brain for answers to the questions she will inevitably have when she is old enough to notice the world around her.

Attorney General Mike DeWine has made a statement that there will be a two-week delay in the Steubenville gang rape case  and we  won’t hear from witnesses for about two weeks after it is convened Monday.This could mean that they are looking for additional evidence, or people who realize they are guilty are quick making last minute vacation trips or something.

Just as the rulings were being handed out in the Steubenville rape case, another eerily similar story of high school sexual assault was gaining traction. As the world began to move on from a small town in Ohio, we were immediately pulled in to a small town in Connecticut, where two Torrington High School football players were being charged the statutory rape of two 13-year-old girls. (The number of alleged rapists has grown to four high schools boys now.) Now, the social media bullying that became an intricate part of the Steubenville case has reared its ugly head once again.

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
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.

Where are the parents in Steubenville demanding alcohol and rape awareness classes for their youth to partake in? They are scared to speak out More
The story is eerily similar as we continue to debate the verdict and implications of Steubenville’s highly publicized rape trial: Two high school football players are accused of rape. Victim-blaming is spreading over social media towards the girls brave enough to come forward. And a school seems to be all to willing to look the other way when its star athletes break the law. It’s like the very worst deja vu. More

We already know that the court drama surrounding the Steubenville rape trial wasn’t over yet. Attorney General Mike DeWine announced after Sunday’s verdict that he would be convening a grand jury trial to look into other people responsible for failing to report or covering up the rape a 16-year-old girl at a party in August. Now, we’ve learned that at least one of the convicted rapists will be appealing the trial outcome, claiming that a 16-year-old’s under-developed brain is not capable of understand that raping an unconscious girl is wrong. More
We need to do this all over the world! But when confronted with the ugly truth that if people are so consumed with blaming the victim and even threatening her life, it’s hard to find a starting point to bring healing to a community that so desperately needs it. More
When you stop and think about the number of ways that the media has failed the Steubenville rape victim, it is truly appalling. From their lack of coverage until the internet made the story too big to ignore to their questionable focus on “poor” Ma’Lik Richmond and Trent Mays and their promising football careers, this entire case has brought some of the worst of rape culture to light. And now, an established media outlet that should know better has released the 16-year-old rape victim’s name. More
I feel like I have said this so many times before, but maybe I need to say this again. As parents, we have a responsibility to teach our kids that alcohol and drugs are sometimes dangerous and that it is illegal to drink when you are under 21. Most kids and teens can’t handle their alcohol. Yes, if the jane Doe rape victim in the Steubenville case would have stayed at home playing Monopoly with her parents and not snuck out to a party she probably won’t have been raped. But it is still not her fault. Period. More
So stick that in your “Anonymous terrorized a town” rhetoric-hole because not only did they bring nationwide attention to a terrible crime, even the victim was thankful they did so. And by doing so, they brought attention to rape and rape culture, and hopefully have done their part and will continue to do their part standing up for victims and seeking justice for all of those who have been raped.
