COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A day after two high school football players were convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl, authorities arrested two Ohio girls suspected of making online threats against the accuser.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said the girls arrested Monday posted threatening comments on Twitter on Sunday, the day the players were convicted in Steubenville. One of the messages was later reposted on Facebook.

The rape case brought international attention to the small city of 18,000 and led to allegations of a cover-up to protect the Steubenville High School football team.

Steubenville police Capt. Joel Walker said the Jefferson County girls, ages 15 and 16, were being held in juvenile detention.

The older girl was charged with aggravated menacing for a tweet that threatened homicide and said "you ripped my family apart," according to the attorney general's office. The girl is a cousin of defendant Ma'Lik Richmond, attorney general spokesman Dan Tierney said Tuesday.

A Twitter message from the younger girl threatened the accuser with bodily harm, leading to a menacing charge, the office said.

Maybe that explains the otherwise peculiar comment about tearing the she-thug’s family apart.

I saw that. Ex-porn star Lords, ambulance-chasing dirtbag lawyer Alred, and disgraced tabloid scum peddler Piers Morgan, all voicing moral outrage. My irony meter melted.

Tracy Lords did not even wait for her eighteenth before she blew her way out of Steubenville.

Clearly. She was doing porn at, what?, 15 or 16? She claims she was raped in Steubenville, which until recently might not have been believable.

She began at age 15. She posed in penthouse at 15. She a had a fake birth certificate that fooled everyone and she did not look 15. Before her age was discovered and her movies and pictures deemed child porn I did in fact see them. She looked closer to 21 then 15. She fooled Bob Guccione.

One of these days, she's going to be president.

Question if you know the answer. Was the girl from Stubenville or somewhere in West Virginia? Seems like I read something indicating West Virginia but I’m not sure now.

I read early on when it first came out that she was from West Virginia.

She would probably do a better job then the current clown in chief.

Thanks. I went and looked it. Here's an article from the Weirton Daily Times about the case dated March 18.

You gave me a good idea. I’m going to try and get my daughter to photoshop a sign with Home Of Traci Lords on it and attach it to a welcome to a steubenville sign.

It always amazes me how viscous and demented some people are to others on social media. Especially teens and leftists.

I think the days were better when people did not share their every passing thought with the world. It’s like a big puke party every day.

How could she say the family was ripped apart? The family was already frayed. The father and mother had already abandoned Mal-Lic. He was living with some kind of foster family. No wonder he’s a rapist.
