The New York Times article that brought the case to MSM and Anonymous. It's VERY long, but has great detail.

Jane Hanlin encouraged the rape survivor not to press charges. Here is a quote defending her son.

I said before the Feds were investigating a 2nd rape, it's actually the state. I haven't found confirmation that Feds are involved.
i may not have kids, but i can 100% for sure tell you i couldn't protect my child in this situation. i'd be walking his ass into the jail and telling them they have to lock him up right then and there. you can't tolerate that shit.
did you hear what the sheriff said about the case? first it 'wasn't his jurisdiction.' which makes NO sense and then he commented that he didn't understand how it could be harmful to the girl if she couldn't remember anyway. ugh, shit people are saying blows my mind. and hurts my heart. i hope the girls that were raped by these fuckfaces are able to heal and see justice done.
This whole story is so sad.
I keep checking the site everyday for updates.

I was searching for the Dr Phil episode on this case because I missed a lot of it. The above link shows Jill Watkins in one clip where she claims the kids are hiding under "tent" desk (wth is a tent desk?) pee and puking. This link, led me to another one of a young man's reply to the case. There is hope that his message will get out!

Tweets that were sent out about the rape.

I've been following this story for a couple of months now. Things really came to light when Anonymous and even Roseanne chimed in on Twitter.
What's even more appalling is that this drunken night of horrors started at the COACH'S house. I don't remember who the coach said gave these kids the alcohol, he said he came home and his house was full of drunk kids so he just told them to get out. Knowing they were drunk, he just set them loose. Maybe to kill someone or themselves with their drunken driving. Instead it was "just a girl got raped", so no biggie.
There needs to be some serious house-cleaning at that school and at the homes they were raised in.
We have forgotten how to be good guests; how to walk lightly on the earth as its other creatures do.
The fact that she was drugged is being contested, IIRC two kids testified that she was drugged in the car shortly after she was picked up. SHE can't remember anything after being picked up. My heart breaks for her and her family. It's hard to believe she is being shunned by friends for reporting it.
I agree, Moon. I have been following this case closely too. I know I keep putting up a lot of links (sorry), I want to give everyone the chance to read the same info I have read, if they want to. This whole case and the coverup stinks!
UN, have you seen the pictures that were sent out? They are disgusting too.

That'sunderstandable, you're so close to it. It makes me crazy that the victim, I prefer survivor, is being blamed. I don't care if she was the town slut, she didn't deserve to lured to a party, be drugged, used like an inflatable doll and tossed in her front yard like trash. NO ONE DESERVES THAT!

I like the term survivor. I agree. No one deserves what was done to her. I'm so completely disgusted by the cover ups and the 'she doesn't remember it, so no harm done' mentality. As women, we ask why we are still sexually objectified and treated like second class citizens. It's because of these mother's who are covering for their rapist sons and not teaching them respect for other human beings. It hurts my heart to know that I (and any woman) am not considered a human. That's the best I can do right now.
I don't want to hear the 'be glad you live in America' crap. You're missing the point. It shouldn't be happening anywhere. If America has progressed like we like to portray, this shit should be history.
Also, the mentality of "Oh well, she doesn't remember so it's all good" is ridic. I guarantee when she came to, she was in a lot of pain. Think about what a round of rough sex or anal sex does to your parts. Now a whole night of multiple people doing that to this poor girl....ya she was hurting I'm sure.

There is a lot of bullshit that happens to women that we don't talk about that constitutes sexual assault, especially in high school. I know TONS of girls who would fall asleep and wake up with some guy fingering them or jerking off on them, and they were so humiliated and confused they never reported it.
Holy carp half way through that link, this is like Friday Night Lights from hell. Poor girl.
