FULL TITLE:

Two high school football stars, 18, charged with sexually assaulting girl, 13, who classmates are now calling a 'snitch' and a 'whore' on social media

A pair of high school footballers in Connecticut have been charged with sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl, just days after two star players in Steubenville, Ohio, were convicted of rape in a case that shook the nation.

Torrington High School football players Edgar Gonzalez and Joan Toribio, both 18, are accused of felony second-degree sexual assault and other crimes in an investigation that began last month. Both have pleaded not guilty.

Since the alleged abuse, the young victim, who hasn't been named, has been taunted on social media sites by dozens of classmates who are upset at the claims against the football stars.

The victim has been called a 'whore,' criticized for 'snitching' and blamed for 'ruining' the players' lives.

One Twitter user wrote: 'Young girls acting like whores there's no punishment for that young boys acting like boys is a sentence.'

I have come to the conclusion that HS football players think rape is okay.

I cannot understand the kids in this school taking up for a couple of low-lifes.

If their lives are ruined it is themselves that ruined it.

It could also be the result of liberals who have completely commandeered education, and are now teaching kids sexual perversion at an early age.

It was just reported in the local paper that a 17 yo HS student here (and possibly 2 others) are accused of raping a 14 yo girl in a car between the JV basketball game and the Varsity basketball game at the HS gym. THe rape was oral sex (thtank you Bill Clinton.)

This is after another case was settled that occured a year ago concerning a 15 yo girl and 3 football players in the HS band room between classes. The girl moved out of state and the boys got very light sentences. Community service and a couple of months in jail, or probation. I forget which.

This is a very nice, upscale, community.

Lack of parenting all around.

Long tradition of treating football players as something special, above the rules that apply to other students.
