I live in Steubenville and I’m familiar with this on an educational level, and I’ll let you read between the lines there. She is white, as is Trent. Malik is the black kid. While there was another black kid who testified, this pretty much involves middle-class white boys and girls from the high school’s scholars’ program. Malik was not in scholars, but the children of the family he lives with are. The girl attends Wierton Madonna, a private Catholic school right across the river. There were also party attendees from our local private Catholic school.
I was totally wrong I apologize. I just remember the photo and could have sworn the victim was black..but either way, your absolutely right, a crime is a crime..the media defending these perps are unbelievable defending them..I guess as far as the media is concerned maybe it wasn’t “Rape, Rape”(Right Whoopi)
My understanding is that she was targeted by the ex-boyfriend for a “rape crew”. I also am of the understanding that she was not exactly the most respectable of characters.
That being said, nobody deserves to be treated like that. Nobody. Drugged and assaulted, repeatedly, then uninated upon, and left in her front year for her parents to find. Then have pictures of the abuse circulated on cell phones and descriptions posted in victory on internet.
I can be a pretty cruel and uncaring person when it comes to adults, but at age 16, what could this girl possibly have done to the ex-boyfriend to warrant him arranging this as payback?
Leaves me speechless.
