Rough Justice for Rape Victims on Social Media?
Two acquaintances of a 17 year-old girl raped her after she passed out at a party last year. They also took pictures and shared them with friends. Some justice was meted out as her assailants pled to felony charges, but apparently she was also silenced by the same court that punished them. Defying the court order, she has turned to Twitter to identify the two and speak out about her victimization. It's a trend that other women are joining in as well- some see it understandably as the only recourse they'll ever have in a system organically unfriendly and unsupportive in most ways.
