Seriously, THAT'S what makes you sick? Not what happened to the survivor and that no one reported it, including "innocent" Keenan? Nice priorities.

It was at "young Keenan's" own home where the teens were partying and the victim was raped (she was raped twice, as the teens transported her from one party to the next). Even if he did not take part in the actual rape, I'd be seriously concerned with going to a school with a male who let rape happen in his home.

And even if he wasn't aware of the rape at the time, he would have certainly heard about it after, with it being actually IN HIS HOME. Where was his support for the victim? Why did the family not do everything in their powers to figure out what happened. Instead they sided with the team and turned a blind eye.

What the so called 'team' members did is much, much worse. This went on for months until the hidden crimes came to light. I gather gang violence isn't a Jefferson county 'priority'.

Darly314, I'm on your side. BUT charges were filed daysafter it happened. The victim was then discouraged from pressing on by authorities but she pressed on regardless. So, you're a bit misinformed there. A huge problem is that the cops dragged their unwilling feet on some stuff, not everything. The kids somehow got a heads up and went about deleting a lot of the online evidence as well as cell phones. The cops did seize phones, iPads, and so forth but much too late. Furthermore, once everyone found out about the arrests the SOME of the "upstanding citizens and nice young men" took it upon themselves to intimidate Jane Doe, her family, and supporters. IF the nation had caught wind of it before December & January then maybe these 2 "nice young men" would have gotten charged as Adults instead of Juveniles as they have. A decision which can't be changed. In order for them to be tried as adults something huge has to happen now, like a mistrial or the like...and maybe even then...

think you should be more sick that reno saccoccia is making jokes about a rape. what kind of man (and i use that word only because of his age) would allow his players to rape teenagers. he made a joke about for crying out loud. mays admitted that. reno will take care of it. hope they slap the cuffs on this disgusting excuse for a human being. and to think he has grandaughter's. WOW

Thank you Tim for being a voice of reason.

The child was battered, multiple times, and some of the batterers were ADULTS, under the law. The 'fluffed up' facts do not wash with Americans. I have family in Ohio, know teens in Florida that were scared after seeing Nodianos' 'video'. This story has gotten WORLDWIDE attention; no more pretending it didn't happen.

Darly314, None of the perpetrators were adults. Some of the horrendous acts may have happened at places where adults might have been present, though not in the same room. But she was emotionally battered by adults after the fact.

@ anaasc Anthony Craig was 18 at the time, Nodianos was 18 at the time, the MAJORITY of the boys tweeting/retweeting are seniors in High School some of which have already turned 18. I was under the impression that 18 is considered a legal adult in the eyes of the law. It is you just do not know what you're talking about, people like you are what's wrong with this case. If you're only going to assist in spreading misinformation, SHUT UP! There are quite enough lies going around, there is absolutely no need for you to make it appear as if these boys are innocent children. By the time they're a senior in high school they should be intelligent enough to know that taking advantage of an unconscious girl is not only against the law but morally wrong.

Of course it does. All I'm saying is that there are not yet any charges against this kid. Maybe there will be; maybe there won't be. It just seems to me to be a bit early to be dragging a kid through the mud and spreading panic among Kent State girls.

Chris (Kit) Myers, I think girls in Kent should panic as well as other schools where these kids may end up. Not everyone on the football team raped the girl but the moral decay they showed is a threat to society and they will be a liabilty for any school they end up at. Why? Because the schools will have knowledge upon acceptance of their moral standing. So, if they do something or fail to act appropriately again, the school might get sued since they "knew".

Please sign all these petitions so they are all charged, and as adults: -

nothing happened in the Keenan house! Charlie should sue for defamation of character because he is innocent!

MS.,
Let's say nothing hapened at his house at all, let's say it did and he was so horrified he then kicked them out...what about the twitter comments? Not only from him directly but from his friends. If he's an upstanding young men he would denounce them as his friends. But from what I understand, Big Red's motto is "We are Big Red", "We are One", "We are family". The twitter comments even involved other girls saying vile things about "Jane Doe's" condition & circumstances that night, sloppy being the nicest. And then, after the fact, many football players & townspeople tried to intimidate "Jane Doe", her supporters, and the protesters, one guy an alumni went so far as to tell protesters to PYH...protect your holes. Yeah, all very nice kids, the nicest place around. An old run down steel town going to hell on a Mountain Dew Pellet. Football & Jesus. I'm sure not everyone has this mentality of course, I'm sure there are some decent people in that town but they must be few and far between...Steubenville isn't as nice or as recognized as Massillon...how far is that from Steubenville? And who wins when they play against each other? The tigers or big red? Different Town, different school, different people, same mentality.

A child has been "dragged" through the mud; students at Kent State may be at risk, Good thing Kent State began a PROMPT investigation, unlike Ashland _______(whatever that place is named.)

To: anaasc

(MS.
Let's say nothing hapened at his house at all, let's say it did and he was so horrified he then kicked them out...what about the twitter comments?)

What twitter comments? Do you personally know anyone of the people involved with this case or are you just posting idiotic comments. The ONLY thing that Charlie might be guilty of is "forwarding" a tweet wondering what was going on...He was not present for this horrifying experience involving Jane Doe. Nor did any of it take place at the "Keenan" household. This whole case has been blown way out of proportion due to social media. I do not disagree that this happened and the ones responsible should pay for the rest of their lives. But the CORRECT people need to be charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent AS ADULTS. The only reason Charlie was even mentioned is because of his mom's status in the community.

True. But young men like Ma'lik Richmond, Trent Mays, Cody Saltsman and Michael Nodianos had absolutely no qualms about dragging the young woman's name and reputation through the mud VIA Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Those are the facts. It's just coming back to bite them in the butt in a major way. Keenan's role in all this, if any, will no doubt come to light soon enough.

MY kid would not have held a Rape Party at MY house. This group of criminals ran around the school calling THEMSELVES "The Rape Crew". No one here is dragging anyone into the mud. They've chosen to live there of their own volition.

I would if feel if it had been my son who had done this? I shudder to think.

Had it been my kid, I would know what the town is like, what the school is like, what the team is like, and trust me THERE WOULD BE NO PARTIES at my house. There are kids in Steubenville who aren't part of the team but throw parties FOR the team, wouldn't be happening under this parent's watch. And had it been my kid, and say I believed he was innocent (doubt it, with the whole birds of a feather thing) I would have him writing an essay on twitter about his non-involvement and denouncement of the ordeal. I would have him at the District Attorneys office singing like a canary about anything and everything he might have heard or seen. Ask his parents what they did, are doing, or demanding from their oh so innocent kid. Do they expect him to say/do anything?

Yes, I would do the same.

Good for you and your daughter and friends! This group of boys has been calling themselves the rape crew long before this incident but nothing has been reported and who could blame them when one kids mom is covering everthing up by using her powerful position. Everything will come out in the wash and I think we will find out this has been going on for a long time and there are proably way more victims.

Thank you for sounding like a real father. I made my husband sit and watch Michael Nodiano's rant as well as all the other Steubenville kids comments including Charlie's...he just turned white. I have a 16 year old girl who doesn't believe her friends would do this...and we have a son, and are expecting a baby girl...

YES! Charlie Keenan: Charlie is the son of the County Prosecuting Attorney Jane Hanlin and a member of the Big Red football team. He is also a well known member of the “Rape Crew”. One of the parties to which the unconscious victim of this horrible crime was dragged to took place at the Hanlin house." This is from LocalLeaks, an article (or page) called The Steubenville Files.

They didn't cross any state lines, they might have crossed the river but not the state line.

And we should believe Hanlin just because she said so? I don't think so.

It will all come out in the wash cause people will keep digging until the truth comes out. Too many lies and too many cover ups by people involved. This is just the tip of the iceberg and I think we will find out that his mom is a dirty procutor and his dad a dirty cop.

Hey Frank. Aren't you part of the good ol' boy network in Steubenville? Is Jane Hanlin a member of your law firm? http://www.bruzzeselaw.com/ Are you related to the local judge? http://judgepedia.org/index.php/Joseph_J._Bruzzese,_Jr.

C'mon counselor, how can we trust you to be unbiased when you're busy circling the wagons?

I think the Good Ol Boy's network is trying to flood sites with their take on the situation. The Boosters are probably spending 24/7 on their computers trying to counter all the negative publicity their players are getting.

Why did his Mother tell her not to press charge?

Frank,

Why did his mother advise the victim not to prosecute?

Attorney Frank J. Bruzzese, associate of Ms. Hamlin (Mother of Charlie Keenan) and legal partners...this case is NO different than that of Jerry Sandusky of Penn State. Another case of putting Football before a child and the LAW! Where is your moral compass, your ethics? There is a victim in this story, and news flash, it isn't CHARLIE KEENAN.

You better check your facts Mr. Bruzzese. According to the Probable Cause Hearing transcripts, Charlie Keenan provided a ride to one of the parties for one of the State's witnesses. He may not have been in Wintersville, but he was in Steubenville and one of the rapes occurred while driving from Steubenville to Wintersville, so technically, he was in the same town where one of the rapes occurred.

I AGREE 100%

Was his mother present here http://www.change.org/petitions/oh-bar-association-disbar-jane-hanlin-for-misconduct?utm_campaign=action_box&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=share_petition

The INNICENT boy sure had a lot to say on twitter about Jane Doe...and then it got deleted...oopsies.

Shouldn't a lawyer know how to spell innocent?

not in the same town??? Really??? Where do you get your information?

He retweeted the post stating "Some people deserve to be peed on" made by Michael Nodianos. His twitter avatar is the second.

Major: my goodness... you are very passionate about this man's innocence.

He is fortunate to have you on his team : )

dude! calm down!! it comes from actual Trial Testimony, given by numerous eyewitnesses, under oath!
I tend to believe people under oath, rather than those out to defend the indefensible - rape!

Well, Jason, I wish that people such as you would use your full name when you post so that my attorney can be sure to get you excluded from my jury should I ever be accused of a crime. I seriously doubt that some of you would be willing to weigh the evidence. And this kid has not yet been charged with anything.

Chris (Kit) Myers-- Big surprise he hasn't been charged with anything since his mother Jane Hanlin was the prosecuting attorney and his father is a cop. SHOCKING, right?

Where did anyone say football is more important that the rape?
There you go again making statement that are not true!!
Putting your words in people mouths.

You are so correct Jason and Mr. Mason has some serious issues. Enough light has been made that someone will keep digging till the truth comes out and there are proably more victims that have been covered up.

http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/641/1473163342.jpg

He retweeted the tweet by Michael Nodianos stating "Some people deserve to be peed on". He twitter avatar is the second one.

Thank you Tim. I'm copying your response just to make sure Sherry sees it. Maybe then she'll stop defending the Rape Crew and start defending the child who was raped. Her son is a wrestler though, so for all we know he could be part of the Rape Crew too. I hope Sherry talks to him about this and makes it clear that these men are in the wrong. Until parents stop defending rapists, their sons are going to keep raping.

http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/641/1473163342.jpg

Charlie Keenan retweeted the tweet by Michael Nodianos stating "Some people deserve to be peed on". He twitter avatar is the second one."

sherry: if you meant the National Enquirer, we all DONT know its garbage. Its proven time after time to be true. I think law enforcement reads it to help them solve crimes. ; )

i wouldnt doubt if we see this story in it soon : )

sherry: why do you suppose THIS kid's name keeps popping up? Is he an easy target? Are people just jealous of him? why are they picking on Keenan?

Really are you that blind. It happened at his house!!!!! You r correct innconnent till proven guilty but I have a feeling this kid is dirty as the mud he rolled in. Can't wait to find out exactly how much his mommy and daddy have covered up for him. The FBI should be investigating this and getting the real story!

Actually, Timothy and Kelly, the second twitter avatar is Trent Mays:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2260542/EXCLUSIVE-Pictures-cellphone-TWO-MORE-girls-semi-naked-face-basement-16-year-old-raped-Ohio-football-stars.html

Scroll down the article and you can see a screen capture of a tweet by Trent Mays and that is HIS avatar.
So, that IS misinformation.
On the other hand, court transcripts show he WAS at one of the parties involved, and the FACT is, if you look at ALL of these kids tweets, ALL their tweets from that week and beyond were deleted.
So, if you had NO knowledge of the crime, why the need to delete your own tweets?

Plus, he had an attorney that his mom works for flood the internet with lies about him being "out of town". Eyewitness, under oath testimony proves otherwise.
Now, THAT is a clear attempt at a cover-up (imo)

Hey Major, you're right about one thing. You can't arrest stupidity. But that is not what Kent State is trying to do. As I see it, Kent State has no duty to try and educate stupid people, especially on the back of the taxpayers. This kid apparently lacks empathy and social skills if he is re-tweeting disgusting comments about the treatment of a fellow human being. I'm sure Kent State wants nothing to do with that and does not want any of its sports scholarships to benefit such backward thinking.

Major Matt Mason,
Man do I have a hard time understanding your intention. Steubenville must give out diplomas like hotcakes. Kent is only waiting for the case to FULLY unfold and for ALL the evidence to come out before making their final decision. Perfectly diplomatic and completely understandable. Now if it were me running that school, the Tweets and Retweets from Charlie's account would be enough to not accept him into the school. That would be to not only protect female students, Fraternities he may pledge, but also cover their A$$ets. Imagine this innocent boy rapes a girl while at their school, or merely hosts a party where questionable behavior would be grounds to sue, or if a fraternity accepts him and then they end up with charges against them...the school could then be sued for admitting him despite his questionable character...all Big Red team members are a walking liability (at this point) until the case is over. Any university is going to have to make sure anyone they accept from this team is squeaky clean, completely squeaky clean.

exactly. calm down people. KSU saw that people were getting upset regarding this kid enrolling and getting a scholarship. they saw what happened with Nodianos and OSU and the reaction that generated. so they're trying not to make the same mistake; they're just informing you "hey, we're watching this too and if anything sticks to this kid, we'll re-evaluate." they're not dragging his name through the mud, they're responding to allegations against them for enrolling him. his name's already out there about this and that's what generated such allegations; that's not KSU's fault.

Let me just say this and I will leave it at at.
I attended an Ohio Mid american conference school.
I have been to most of the schools following the sports teams.
Including KS.
I have no problem and encourage the code of conduct for students.
BUT......when it is not implemented currently to those attending now thats when there becomes issues.
I been to the dorms, (watching RA's fire it up and show the kids how to roll)
been to off campus housing (get out of control from the norm both males and females) including athletes.
Yet no one turns them in?
And here we have a student which the university representative for this article said....has not been charged or identified as being directly involved by authorities investigating the sexual assault case."
Why was this even put out????

So he retweated a disgusting comment.............Has you not read whats being said from some of these bloggers here who do not even know him?
From what I have saw from some of your students life on campus this is mild.
This does not even compare to what happened to the student from OSU.

What evidence is damning?
A retweat!! Let me look at all of your phone for your tweets over the years.
I have not said anything negative towards anyone . Then Jason calls me a nutbag.
Then Cindisue says I have serious issues.
The only issue here is some of you do not like to be contradicted and shown there are 2 sides to everything.

Thanks for listening!!!!

Everyone should really get out of the media spotlight of a horrific crime in which the perpetrators are being tried in a court of law. The prosecutor recused herself from the investigation because she knew the boys. Isn't that what an honest attorney would do. With all of this publicity if Charlie Keenan was actually involved (more than passing forward a tweet) he would have been charged, especially since his parents are not involved in the case.
Now onto Kent State. Shame on you! This young man worked very hard and earned his scholarship and you are threatening to take away something he worked so hard on because of unfounded rumors. I thought people are assumed innocent until proven guilty. Maybe if the media would have let the court system do their job, Casey Anthony would be in jail for killing her daughter.
Leave Charlie Keenan and his family alone unless you can provide proof that he was even at the party where the 2 men accused of rape were. Until then, stop ruining life's of innocent associates of two bad kids!

What you say could be true if ANONYMOUS didn't already have a record before this. They were able to stop the insane Wesboro Church from protesting the Sandy Hook Funerals. And they have uncovered a miriad of things. Just because your town is caught in their cross hairs now doesn't mean that they are unjust, it just means they see something going wrong and they mean to shed light on it. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. So, what was that incident with the Steubenville law enforcement agencies back in the 90's??? Isn't that enough to cast what you all say in a haze of doubt???

Hey Sherry. Do you think it's okay for a Kent State sports scholar candidate to re-tweet joy about urination on a rape victim? If so, then you set the bar disgustingly low. And Local Leaks said there is more to come. Any offer of enrollment and scholarship needs to be reviewed and withheld at this point. That is all that Kent State is doing right now. As for me, I would rather give the wrestling scholarship to somebody who did not re-tweet the degradation of a fellow human being. But that's just my opinion of what civilized society should do . . .

Timothy: I dont see anyone deriving ANY amusment from this incident... just the laughing kid in the video. But as for the LEARNED behavior... where do you suppose the rapists learned that? who are they around that would condone such behavior?

why did the rapists know to do it at that HOUSE? I'm sure they didnt think they would get caught and they might not have- save for that video posting.
The one laughing in the video... knowing all the little cliches... where do you think he learned to think that so funny?

(Timothy: I think you can go into your profile and delete any comments if you are having "shouldnt have posted that" regrets.)

Another thing: it is unfortunate the "lynch mob" mentality of today BUT- the Justice System, Police, Politicians, Powers that Be- they REFUSE to just listen to a couple "whining" residents.

Justice these days TAKES A WHOLE VILLAGE.

Wow! Teresa K. you are one smart cookie. Very well said!

I would never send my kids to an Ohio school so you do not have to worry about that.
There they go again making those personel attacks. They are not interesed in justice just in stirrin the pot. These are the kind of people that make threats to try and get their way. And by the way my taxes support all state run schools. So I have decided to come out from under the woodwork. Thank you very much

if it takes a lynch mob to bring these monsters to justice then so be it. if this poor girl had the amount of support behind her that these monsters do the world would be better off.

Dr. Anarchy Clown PHD,
Thank YOU!!! All the Mountain Dew has eroded their brain and morals.

See what did I say. People take personel attacks when they do not know the facts.
Cyndisue sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I mispelled your name do you forgive me?
I know what I am talking about I am in the thick of things here. My advise to you is to listen what the attorney general is saying.

Major Matt Mason, if you're in the thick of it and IN the know then you should be well aware of the Justice Dept's investigation in Steubenville in the 90's. The Justice Department made Steubenville's police department just the second in history forced to sign an agreement setting up new measures to combat police corruption under the 1994 Crime Bill. Here's part of the final ruling: ...officers of the Steubenville Police Department have engaged in a pattern or practice of conduct that deprives persons of rights, privileges, or immunities secured and protected by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, and that the City of Steubenville, the Steubenville Police Department, and the Steubenville City Manager (in his capacity as Director of Public Safety) have caused and condoned this conduct through inadequate policies and failure to train, monitor, supervise, and discipline police officers, and to investigate alleged misconduct. Don't believe me? Look It up. Now tell me again to listen to the attorney general.

Yes, Keenan's mom is the local prosecuting attorney. According to Local Leaks Keenan's stepfather is a Steubenville cop and Keenan's natural father is a former principal at Steubenville HS. He's in good company, n'est ce pas?

They should release all names of any current athletes involved in any wrongdoings.
Need to clean house before you start inviting guest to stay over.

not in town? that you again, Frank?
Court testimony by numerous eyewitnesses (under oath) begs to differ.

He WAS 'in town'
He WAS at one of the parties (at least)
He WAS in the thick of things when it comes to knowledge about tweets, texts, facebook messages, instagrams and the video.
It is FAR to great a leap to think that his circle of teammates and buddies were all tweeting and texting throughout the night and he was the ONLY one who wasn't.

And if he wasn't, then WHY are all his tweets from that timeframe MISSING? What does he have to hide?
Why are they now protected?
Why is he still Facebook and Twitter friends with the NOW CONVICTED RAPISTS?
Why?

Who stays "friends" with a rapist? That's just....SICK!

Hey TimmyD. Nah it's not a modern day lynching. It's a simple "you got alot of explaining to do". And the whole story is not yet public. But that's okay. LocalLeaks is going to release more info soon. Either you're in this mess up to your eyeballs or you turned a blind eye. I want to see more disclosure, not less. And if any of these fine young Steubenvillains manned up to stop this assault before it happened, we would now be doing something else. Reality can suck, right?

Hi Major. You're confusing criminal procedure with public reaction. The issue here is not whether Nodianos, Keenan or any other local youth committed a crime. The issue for Kent State and other universities as I see it is whether any of the Steubenvillain punks deserve enrollment and/or a scholarship in light of their repugnant attitudes and posts. Take the time to familiarize yourself with some of the social media coming out of your "concerned" and "caring" community: http://mindfuller.tumblr.com/post/40087698544/comprehensive-steubenville-teen-rape-timeline
I don't want these miscreants placed alongside decent, honorable people in the workplace or in school. Most people agree and I suspect that challenges you.

Paste bin?????????
You know how may sites are out there like this?
Anyone and I mean anyone can jump on the bandwagon.
If this was so true why pastbin?
Why not the New York Times? CNN? any national media covering this?
It can not be proved...but then again the national news has trouble with it's credibility.
Sell more papers get more viewers and get more sponsors $$$$$$$$$$$

Hi CST. Your pastebin.com link was very interesting and if true would be relevant to Kent State's review. I was given this link (portions of emails allegedly from RollRedRoll published by Ohio Valley Athletics) and you may find email marked #614 also very interesting:
http://www.ovathletics.com/forum/showthread.php/13033-www-rollredroll-com-hacked-by-Anonymous/page31

Matt, I hate to disagree with you but you are wrong. Those boys planned those parties because they knew Cody Saltsman had conspired with his friend Trent Mays and another girl to lure her there so they could drug her, then rape, sodomize and urinate on her. If the two scapegoats they have selected would fully disclose and name everyone that was involved that night, it would blow STEUBENVILLE off the face of the planet. The local law enforcement has shown the level of intelligence they are working on because they confiscated several cell phones with tweets, photos and videos of the rape and "inadvertently erased" the info...on over 15 phones...REALLY?? So the cover-up extends beyond the rapist Kent has given a scholarship to and for his involvement, no he should not be rewarded with a scholarship and I would not want him or any of his RAPE CREW cohorts in the environment anywhere near my children and you should feel the same way.
