Ohio Teens Loss Their Composure As They Are Found Guilty Of Rape

Social media served as evidence in exposing the rape case that has stopped a nation: Two star footballers have been found guilty by an Ohio judge of raping a 16 year old girl after a night of partying. Trent Mays, 17, and Ma’lik Richmond 16 wept in court as they were found guilty of sexual assault on a teen girl, in the early morning of August 12th. They both are now facing time in a juvenile detention facility for at least one year and they could be held there till they are 21. Both boys had sustained that the sex was consensual, but are now required to register as juvenile sex offenders. Emotion was felt as Richmond made a teary apology: "I would like to apologize to you people. I had no intentions to do anything like that. I'm sorry to put you guys through this. And I'd just like to" Social media played a role in terms of circulation: A photo and video from the alleged assault was posted online for the world to see. The victim whose name has been protected did not remember what had happened. Video Courtesy Of Reuters
