Okay so in Ohio two 16 year olds were accused of raping another student. Both boys are on the football team which is poplar in that town so some people think that because they are athletes they are getting off easy/getting special treatment and honestly i wouldn't be surprised if that was actually the case.
Something that really bothers me about this whole thing is that the accused are being charged as juveniles. That seems absolutely ridiculous, these boys are old enough to know that sexual assault is wrong. They made the adult decision to violate someone so they should face the adult consequences when they get caught. The victim has basically already lost the "trial" because no matter what they won't get the justice they deserve. Only in America do we care more about athletes than assault victims.
Very true Jenna, if it was someone who didn't have some sort of talent like that, they wouldn't hesitate to give them jail time.
