Anyone can serve a year in the clink, the deterrent is really about trying to put your life back together after doing time. They'll be paying for that the rest of their lives, being passed over for jobs and promotions because of being a convicted sex offender.

Sherm, the problem will be finding a job in Steubenville, period.sherm03;1408107 wrote:. Do you honestly think they'll have a problem finding a job in Steubenville when they get out because of this conviction?
The registry issue will be even more harmful if they try to leave the local universe.

Went down to Wheeling, WV yesterday and drove past Steubenville HS. We passed the police station and it was infested with news crews. Thought I saw someone from ESPN.

It's too bad Nancy Grace was busy with obsessing over Jodi Arias, because I could easily see this being the kind of case that would have gotten her all riled up. If nothing else her droning on night after night about them being rapists would have brought an added layer of shame and notoriety to these kids since they got off with such a lite sentence.
Someone mentioned Jobs earlier in the thread. Don't you know it is great publicity for the city to be seen as sympathetic towards rapists because they play high school football? I mean you would think businesses would be lining up to bring much needed jobs to that area with such an upstanding community of people.

Two young men(only sixteen years old) with promising futures rape a young women and now must suffer the embarrassment of having face punishment for said crime. What a tragedy for these fine youngsters.OSH;1408192 wrote:[video=youtube;MvUdyNko8LQ][/video]
Just another example of the inequities in our justice system that they should be subjected to this!

Did they have a moment of silence in the Steubenville schools also for these boys?
maybe even have the flags in the city at half mast. What a tragedy for these football players.

Just when we all thought it couldnt go any further. On Fox8's website it said 2 girls made death threats to the rape victim. I feel horrible for this young woman and I hope she moves away when done with school. Its become obvious that many of those idiot rednecks down there will blame her forever.

Deadspin is dead-on!
Saccoccia wasn't the only Steubenville coach to stand up for the players. One of his staffers told the New York Times that "the rape was just an excuse...What else are you going to tell your parents when you come home drunk like that and after a night like that? She had to make up something."

I wonder what the law is? I always thought if you went in to the police and said "someone threatened to kill me" they'd just shrug their shoulders and say nothing they could do. Potentially you could get a harassment charge and restraining order.
I assume it's different in this case because of rape shield laws.

I was just thinking. It's been a while since FWK has posted on this. I wonder how our favorite Victim Blamer is doing. Although I only wonder 5%

lol. While it's only been less than a week since I read it, I'm getting hilarious flashbacks to one of Dan Wetzel's Yahoo columns about the case where you could sense how incredulous he was that RapistMayes was dumb enough to repeatedly talk about what he did on Twitter...despite the fact he seemed to understand on some level how dumb he was being.queencitybuckeye;1408593 wrote:Twitter

A little wordy to be on those signs you see while driving into towns, but very, very accurate.

I keep reading about the 19 or so people who refuse to talk about the case to investigators who have relevant information to the incident.
Hopefully those are the first 19 dragged in front of a grand jury. We will see how tough they are then when faced with obstruction charges should they continue to stonewall.
I am hoping that a grand jury creates a nice and paranoid environment in that town where everyone turns on eachother because no one knows who is snitching and what is being revealed.
All of the adults involved should be forced to sweat it out for how they have behaved.
Hopefully Steubenville gets everything it deserves out of this and nothing less.
