FULL TITLE: Teenage boy ordered by judge to tell court of the moment he filmed 'vomiting, drunk girl, 16, being touched intimately on backseat of car by Ohio footballer accused of raping her'
The teenager who filmed the alleged sexual assault of a drunken 16-year-old at the centre of the Ohio rape case was today dramatically forced to testify by a judge after he sought to invoke the 5th Amendment.
In an explosive exchange during the third day of the trial of two Steubenville footballers, the witness - who was key to the case being brought in the first place - had his bid to exercise his right denied.
He went on to describe how he filmed - and then deleted from his iPhone - footage of one fo the accused, Trent Mays, digitally penetrating her in the back of a car, how Mays put his penis in the mouth of the teenage girl and how he viewed the notorious picture of her being carried by her arms and legs as a 'bad joke'.
Judge Lipps said that the testimony would ‘further the administration of justice (therefore) you are hereby ordered and compelled to answer questions and produce testimony.’
Yet in a move that will infuriate many, the assured the 17-year-old, a close friend of Mays, 17, and his co-accused Ma’lik Richmond, 16, that the immunity he had been granted at the probable cause hearing last October continued to protect him from prosecution in the State of Ohio.
Last September the state’s Attorney General issued three almost identical letters promising immunity to key witnesses if they testified.
The State has received a petition with close to 90,000 signatures calling from the prosecution of this witness.

I really hate the idea of giving people immunity for their actions
Yes, but the local community knows who he is. He’ll have no life worth living there, and this will follow him anywhere he goes.
You would think so, but I think in certain circles he will be seen as cool. ack
Parents of this Mays kid must be real proud of their boy. Something to tell the grandkids about, eh? Oh, never mind, they’ll have read it and seen the pictures on the internet already.
If we’re going to have zero tolerance for stuff like kids saying “bang” in school then maybe we should have some consequences for this kind of action too.
Hopefully room temperature “cool” ....
I am not in any way excusing these little animals. But the animals are out there, and your daughter could be one of their victims.
Sounds like one of those typical parents that want to be “friends” with their kids.
I remember as a teen a lot of young girls drunk out of their minds.
at U-Mass 18 yr olds passed out in bushes, on the sidewalk, being led upstairs to some guys bedroom....
all of the time.
One party where a girl was passed out on the stairs and people stepping over her without a care...
It was pretty sickening.
90 pound girls doing so many shots i’d be laid out for a week.
Unbelievable......teen girls drunk out of their minds attacking me instead of vice-a-versa....
If i was a dad of a teen girl i’d force her guzzle a pint of tequila at home just so she understands what happens....
Still that’s no excuse.
These guys are scum.
“If i was a dad of a teen girl i’d force her guzzle a pint of tequila at home just so she understands what happens....”
Not only do I agree with you but after she’s blind stinking drunk you carry her to her room and leave. Then have YOUR WIFE undress her, and leave her in the room with the door shut, so when she wakes up she will wonder how that happened!!!
how disgusting you people are
get your kids drunk?
How about getting them pregnant too, that’ll show them!
crazy people
Genron,
Since i typed that last post my Significant others freshman
UNC niece was sent to the hospital last night.
She Invited a friend for the weekend and got so loaded on shots at some party an ambulance had to show up and take her to the hospital.......For the second time this semester.
And she is/was a NICE well raised perfect girl.
She had a great BS excuse the first time....Now what?
I went to U-mass 23 years ago and saw drunken teen women passed out everywhere, being taken advantage all of the time.
YES, if i had a teen daughter i would get her shitfaced at home, let her pass out and learn what happens or could happen...
sorry
So since she has done it more than once you think doing it at home will stop it?
Mom is very catholic.
Nichole led a sheltered life now she is experiencing crazy college life and apparently she was ill prepared.
Same with me.
She is beautiful, mid-upper class and now in trouble.
Mom is thinking of pulling her out of school now.
These teen girls, in order to look so cool and wild......
whatever....
genron i’ve always liked your posts.....peace
Anyone who gets their underaged kids drunk on purpose is sick in the head.
Geron, Maybe if i poured a pint of tequilla DOWN HER THROAT BEFORE SHE HEADED (SORRY CAP LOCK) off to party central she would think twice about getting shitfaced and getting date raped in some frat house.
You ever been to a frat party?
Yea, Genron, Let some weasel predator named Nick get her shitfaced first....then lead her upstairs.
She will wake up like this poor girl wondering WTF happened.
I worked for an Air Force officer who described how he told his parents he was going to go have a really good time on his 21st Birthday. He kept going on and on about it. His birthday fell in mid January. His parents “dragged” him along when they went out for New Years eve. They bought him every drink he wanted. He doesn’t remember the count down to the New Year. He’ll never forget the first week of the New Year...
The bottom line, he learned a painful lesson but he was safe.
and he has been in and out of AA ever since?
