STEUBENVILLE, Ohio -- It’s Monday, and ominous-looking clouds are pushing over Harding Stadium as dozens of football players in practice jerseys prepare to take on Cleveland’s Benedictine Bengals.

But this day two key players are missing from the field.

**Correction: One of the boys not in jail is a recent graduate. It is my understanding that OSU yanked his full academic ride.

Unfortunately the video showed otherwise, plus there is this lovely Tweet: You don’t sleep through a wang in the butt. In addition, there was enough evidence of rape to arrest and charge two of the boys. The pic of them holding her is disgusting. I don’t know how she wasn’t drugged because never in my life have I seen somebody that drunk. She in fact looked dead, which is why she is referred to in many Tweets as “the dead body.”

Who would have thought a girl going alone to this kind of unsupervised party

Can your stupid cr@p.

The girl was at a party at one of the coaches homes, not some unsupervised romp out at the river. There was supposed to be supervision when she went.

“Kids raised by single mothers ultimately end up having no respect for either women or the law.”


My brother and I were raised from pre-school age by a single mother.

Our father died at age 31.

Don’t paint with such a broad brush.

The latest I heard is the prosecutor is trying to get all these guys tried as adults..good.

And yes, this is also about old money/new money why this story was covered under the rug for so long.

How many people have seen the video/pics? I have heard quite a bit..it was around for a while.

There was no drugging of the girl in the version he heard, nor penetration. Bascially it was a case of drunk kids and some naughty pictures.

uuum no..to all 3...but yes on drunk athletes.

Despite the tweeted pics and the youtube video which has since been pulled, if you want to believe it was just some naughty photos and drunk kids then I'm not going to argue with you........

Please re-read #18, my original post. What are you not understanding here?

1) I never heard about this case, other than what my husband told me the other day, which as I’ve stated, differed greatly from this account.
2) I never saw any pics or videos, thank God.
3) I have acknowledged that my husband’s original account, as he heard it, was inaccurate and made the incident sound not nearly as “bad” as what apparently took place.

If you want to feel morally superior, do it somewhere else. And while you’re at it, stop attributing thoughts and judgments to me that are of your own making.

At the risk of pissing off humblegunner, prinniefied.com has awesome coverage as well as screenshots of Tweets and Facebook posts.

As mentioned by a previous poster, I too was raised by a single mother who along with my father were kicked out of the catholic church due to their divorce but I have the utmost respect for everyone, including women and the law........

So much for your bogus theory.......

Seems like there was an episode of Law and Order a few years back that had pretty much the exact same plot lines you just described.

Did you see the pics/video? Just curious.

From what I have been hearing more cases happened...threatening of the girls, payoffs etc. but much is rumor.

Probably the same as what I’d do.

Then re-read my post #48.......

If you want to offer your opinions then do so based on the evidence provided, not what your husband may or may not have told you.

I'd ask YOU what you're not understanding here but it's clearly obvious..........

We don’t know that the victim was even drinking. She could have had a coke with something in it (GHB or similar) and passed out without having done anything wrong.

From what I heard both girls are pretty decent, from good families and they are both hotties (not that it matters that less attractive women are less human) but these guys were picking out the more pretty girls to prey on.

ROFL.... Ah, yes... so much of your haranguing becomes clear now. Raised on such self-serving lying drivel like this from your own mother, it's no wonder you feel the need to bully someone making an innocent "oh it's worse than I thought" comment.

I must comment on the girls being “pretty decent”: These boys are deemed pretty decent in our community and would be in most communities. What some parents are realizing now is the risk of labeling a kid a “good” kid. I’m starting to really wonder myself as I troll their Twitter feeds. The “good” kids in the scholars program are certainly not. Disclaimer! I do not in any way, shape, or form mean that if the girls weren’t good they deserved it! This is just my two cents about children.
