I don’t understand how any father could resist the urge to torch those boys with a flamethrower, had it been their daughter.
I wonder if his cellmate will say the same thing about him.
2 obsessions would be good to get rid of which are now rampant in this country: alcohol and sex. People need to stop seeing drinking as the end-all be-all of “fun”, and sex as something they just have to have. It’s all ruining everything. In short, morality is needed.
Please warn your daughters NOT to leave their beverages unattended. Wherever she goes, her drink (even nonalcoholic ones) should go with her or she should pitch it and get a different one when she comes back. She should avoid drinking from anyone else's cup and she should never try an unknown beverage on a dare. It's very easy to slip drugs into the drink to zonk her out. And also please warn her that she should have a buddy at the party with her at all times. She should never stay by herself with her new "friends" if her buddy wants to leave the party. And always always make sure she knows how to arrange safe transportation home if she and her buddy are both intoxicated.
One more thing. Men can be assaulted anally just as this unfortunate girl allegedly was. You don't hear about it as often when the victim is male, but male sexual assault victims are out there. Please talk to your sons too :)
When I was 15 I was so horny I would have raped a snake if someone held its head. Drunk, large males in the proximity of attractive young females in a drunken stupor is simply a recipe for disaster. The difference between the Victorians and modern Americans is that the Victorians had a far better understanding of human nature.
I am not excusing anyone here, the perpetrators, their parents, their friends, the girl, her parents, whatever nitwit supplied the alcohol. It’s murder on the Orient Express, they all did it.
At least this douche bag is on a video that will hopefully follow him for his short, miserable life.
The poor, innocent, virginal, pure girl in this case just has such bad luck doesn’t she?!
She’s a female and by definition not able to be accountable for her actions. Is that how it is? It’s a question that occurs to me as I have followed this case.
The girl is a disgrace to her family and her community. Tell me how she isn’t.
I have heard an endless stream of news on this matter and obviously ALL the teenagers involved were and still are pigs. Not one person has asked about how this took place at these homes without any parents being there. Where and the hell were these kids moms and dads at when these acts took place? When will the parents be brought in for questioning about what took place in their homes? I think the parents should be held accountable to some degree since it was their little animals that took part in these acts. Who owned these houses where the molestations took place and where the hell were they at when they happened?
Well isn’t this young man just the cutest, wittiest, funniest little twerp you have ever seen? Sometime down the road, I pray he doesn’t have to have a daughter of his to go through someting like this. What a little jerk. My contempt for his arrogance knows no bounds.
She was given a date rape drug. She was set up to be assaulted multiple times.
Parents must shoulder most of the blame for allowing their teenagers out at all hours of the night with no clue as to where they are or who is with them. Parents are allowing pre-teens to go to “parties” where all sorts of things are going on and nobody seems to have the guts to be a real parent and say no.
Parents are afraid to be parents and this is the result.
Not going to watch this from work, but I hope the judge throws the book at them.
Every dad’s nightmare.
Frankly, the men of Steubanville and of this country need to eliminate these excused for young men.
One of the reasons that people are rushing to Islam, is that Islam offers protection and punishment for crime. Criminals are not babied. Justice, although twisted, is served.
And no, jerks, I am not a Muzzie-sympathizer troll. I wish that our country could find its courage.
I taught my daughters never to get drunk or go to parties without a bunch of friends to look out for each other. I don’t know if the victim’s parents did the same but the reality is that teaching teens anything is very hit or miss. They think they already know everything and are immune from bad stuff happening to them. I also know that young men can be pretty insensitive to the feelings of others. I did some pretty mean things to people when I was a teen that I truly regret now (nothing like these guys did). You just don’t realize how much of a jerk you are being because you are immature. Most people eventually grow out of it before they do something criminal. These guys didn’t and now have to pay.
There is no doubt that kid was high in that video...the moron should be embarassed. He has pretty much guaranteed he will be manual labor for the rest of his life because nobody with any common sense will hire him for a thinking job...he will be digging ditches. He will get his comeuppance.
Still wondering where the parents where, who obtained the alcohol, who allowed the kids to go the party, etc.
Seems to me that there are bunch of parents that need horsewhipping, too.
Flamethrowers....
Teens charged with making online threats against victim -

“At a news conference on Sunday, DeWine said that he would seek a grand jury investigation into whether others should be charged in failing to report or stop the rape. Investigators interviewed 27 partygoers, but said that 16 others refused to cooperate.”
What? They are witnesses and refuse to cooperate with the police?
Text messages introduced at trial suggested the head coach was aware of the rape allegation early on. Reno Saccoccia “took care of it,” defendant Trent Mays said in one text introduced by prosecutors.
DeWine said coaches are among officials required by state law to report suspected child abuse. Saccoccia has not commented.
