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.'

His sons are legion, for they are many.
That's a gross generalization! Both of my sons played HS football, as I did and their grandfather did and none of us are rapists!
The key words are “high school football starsâ€. If they weren’t they would be in jail. Disgusting but the reality of sports these days.
Sexual orientation of children, society non-morals agenda, and lack of parenting all pointing these youths to commit no limits on behavior acted against others without any forethought what so ever...At the moment, these kids (and what they did so wrong and should be thoroughly punished) think that behavior has no consequences...even these young girls that are socially inadequate are being led into dangerous situations by animals ready to pounce - and have no idea or want to believe this is going to happen...fake self-esteem - social media like Facebook and Twitter - all contribute but are not the sole blame...removing kids from public schools into home schooling until the education institutions are reformed to include punishment, morals (Bible), and other conservative thinking to include the appreciation of others rights that do not include SEX as a main right....there are so many contributors to these acts and it all comes down to some socialist agenda of devaluing freedoms over some stupid form of expression...unbelievable.......
In the case here, the girl was in a car with 3 boys, although she reportedly “only” performed oral sex on one of them.
I can’t even imagine this happening in my days in HS. If sex ever happened (and a couple of girls were pregnant at graduation — out of a class of 600) it would have been VERY private — certainly not a group activity!
A star player on my HS baseball team eloped with a cheerleader on graduation night and got married, to everyone’s shock. Everyone defended her against the rumors that she probably was pregnant until the baby was born in October. We just couldn’t imagine that the 2 of them had done such a thing.
The marriage lasted through 3 children, and then they divorced. She went on to head the local TV station and to be a business consultant. Nobody has ever heard of him again.
What has happened to the innocence of our children? I blame omnipresent sex themes in movies and on TV and easily available birth control. Plus a culture of entitlement that our children assume too easily.
At the very least, it keeps the wolves at bay while they have only courage enough to circle the camp out of range of the campfire.
was it forcible or statutory? is going to be my first question.
part of the problem is fashion. the fashion industry is pushing to outfit girls to look like prostitutes at younger and younger ages, and it seems that girls are developing earlier. add in the earlier age of forced sex education, these girls think they’re ready.
(i’m not making excuses for the boys, but it is a contributing factor)
Or opera stars -- castrati.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
This kind of stuff was going on in the 70’s, the 80’s and the 90’s. These atheletes are made to feel that they are entitled and can do what they want so they do. The real problem never gets addressed.
“Sandra Fluke and Barack Obama are silent.”
Fluke and Obama? Thank God they are silent. Fluke would just want free birth control for the girl and condoms for the boys. Obama would not want the football team members “Punished by a baby”
I hope they keep their traps shut.
This goes double for Whoopi Goldberg.
Of course it was statutary. Look at her age. It could have been forcible too, but it definitely was statutary.
“The real problem never gets addressed.”
We have the internet now unlike in the 70s through 90s. So it does get addressed. These boys like the ones from Steubenville, ohio can run but can’t hide.
I would expect nothing less from Ct.
Boy named Sue?
More like gangsta rape
It’s the same culture that allows Chris Brown to stay famous and loved. They are loved and protected because they can play handegg very well. Chris beat the crap out of his girlfriend, but he’s a “good” (I’ve never been a fan) singer, so all is forgiven.
And what does it say when the girlfriend takes him back?
“Joan” is the Catalan spelling of “John” (”Juan” in Castilian). Conceivably the family came from Catalonia.
Well now I know!
