This morning while watching the Today show, they began talking about the Steubenville, Ohio rape case. They did an overview of the story and kept repeating how the accused kept saying it was “consensual” sex right after saying how the victim was drunk and being drug from one party to another. They showed one video clip with a guardian of one of the perpetrators saying, “Well, she was drunk.” Another followed from the video-gone-viral with the young man saying, “she’s dead as a doornail.” If she was drunk or unresponsive, it was NOT consensual and there is no excuse for what was done to her. It was WRONG.
