News Rape victim spoke out the names of her underage attackers

Msmith · 07-23-2012, 08:04 AM

A Kentucky girl who was sexually assaulted could face contempt of court charges after she tweeted the names of her juvenile attackers.

Savannah Dietrich, the 17-year-old victim, was frustrated by a plea deal reached late last month by the two boys who assaulted her, and took to Twitter to expose them--violating a court order to keep their names confidential.

"There you go, lock me up," Dietrich tweeted after naming the perpetrators. "I'm not protecting anyone that made my life a living Hell." Her Twitter account has since been closed....

Is she stupid or being brave for doing this?

Brave...but she could have been smarter about it. Have someone else tweet it.

If they lock that girl up they are going to have 100 lawyers down there quicker than a turd passes through their sewer system.

No shit,never forget the night a guy tried to break in our place and I was still living at home.I met him with a butcher knife when he finally got the door opened and the first question the cops asked when they arrived was,"did he cut you" to the perp.

I've always heard that if you take on an intruder, you're better off killing them than injuring/disabling them from a legal standpoint.

Her name is plastered all over the articles, yet the attackers names aren't.

Agree. It's not always just. It's a matter of what you can prove or what you can win.

That said, even if it didn't work out in criminal court, I woner if such a restriction also prohibited her from filing a civil suit?
