Steubenville Police Video Shows Students Describing Night of Rape

Basically, to hear them tell it, they had no clue sexual assault of a passed out girl was a crime. In Ohio, it is a felony to not report a crime — but you have to know that it was a crime that you were witnessing. So, yeah, you can see where this is going.

Here’s hoping the takeaway from all of this isn’t “be more careful with your iPhone cameras, kids!” because no, that’s not the problem. Thank goodness for electronic documentation — maybe the more we’re forced to talk about cases like this, the more we can steel the National conversation in a way that holds our culture responsible.
