Two high school football players in Steubenville, Ohio, have been found
guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl at a party last August. On Sunday,
the teenagers, Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond, were found delinquent in
the sexual assault of the girl who witnesses testified was too drunk to
move or speak. The case sparked a national controversy following the
emergence of images and social media postings from the night of the
assault. We’re joined by Alexandria Goddard, a crime blogger who first
exposed crucial evidence in the case by taking screen shots of
incriminating social media posts, photographs and videos, before they
could be deleted. The hacker group Anonymous picked up on Goddard’s
posts and released shocking video from the night of the assault. We also
speak to Marc Randazza, a First Amendment lawyer who represented
Goddard when she was unsuccessfully sued for defamation. "I’m convinced
that if Ms. Goddard hadn’t started blogging about this and Anonymous
hadn’t taken up the standard, that this case would have been swept under
the rug," Randazza says.
