I wrote the following email to the two men (one a coach, the other a guidance counselor) at Steubenville High School.
I encourage others to send them an email as well.
Unless and until we start protecting our children, this will continue to happen to innocent kids. We MUST stop putting the reputations of men ahead of the safety and security of our daughters and sons.
I am ANGRY today.
Mr. Masloski, Mr. Daugherty,
I was wondering if these are emails you sent regarding the recent indictment of Mr. Rhimaman
and if you would answer this question.
Where is the compassion for the young lady who was raped and, according to the Grand Jury, it appears the knowledge of which was covered up by your co-worker(s)? (assuming more indictments to come)
Yes, Mr. Rhimaman deserves his day in court. But for a moment think about this. What if it’s true – that ADULTS knew about the social media recordings of the RAPE of a young girl – and then conspired to cover it up by deleting evidence?
Do you have daughters, Mr. Masloski, Mr. Daugherty? Wives? Sisters? Mothers? What if this happened to someone you knew?
Honestly, I am astounded by your apparently misplaced “loyalty.”
If Mr. Rhimaman shouldn’t be where he is because “others” told him what to do – then step forward. Do the right thing. A little girl was RAPED and the adults who were entrusted with her safety knew and tried to cover it up (allegedly).
Thank you,
Roxine Behrens

7:27 AM PT: This was posted as a comment on Hannah Rhinaman's facebook page. If true, then Steubenville needs to stop protecting the real culprits - If this family is involved, they should definitely pay for their actions. However, I would hate for this family to be the "fall" guy in protection of the bigger players...

If anyone deserves indicted it's Reno and the ones that provided the alcohol to the teens. Our town is so corrupt it isn't funny anymore. I didn't talk to you very much while we were in school but you always seemed like a great person. I don't want you or your dad to end up in jail..."
