Disturbing Video Leaked of Ohio High School Students Joking About Alleged Gang Rape

Editor’s note: This post contains an extremely graphic and disturbing video as well as language and photos that many readers will find offensive.

A gut-wrenching video released by an Anonymous cell known as “KnightSec” appears to show a group of high school students joking and laughing about an instance of alleged rape that reportedly occurred in Steubenville, Ohio in August 2012.

The extremely disturbing 12-minute video was posted online Tuesday by KnightSec and is reportedly being reviewed by the Steubenville Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.

Last month, the New York Times published a detailed report on an alleged gang rape in the small Ohio football town of Steubenville. Two Steubenville football players, Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond were arrested on Aug. 22 in connection with the alleged rape, Deadspin previously reported. Months later, exactly what happened that night is still unclear. Few witnesses have come forward to discuss what happened to the unknown girl, who alleges she was assaulted and photographed by athletes from Steubenville High.

In the newly released video, a male, identified by a number of media outlets as former Steubenville High School student and baseball player Michael Nodianos, seems to talk about an instance of rape and other disturbing events surrounding the incident.

“They raped her more than the Duke lacrosse team,” Nodianos says in the video, later adding that “It isn’t really rape because you don’t know if she wanted to or not.”

The former student also jokes extensively about how “dead” the unknown female is. She’s “deader than” Trayvon Martin, he said.

Deadspin provides a compilation of other disgusting quotes from the video (Warning! Graphic content):

• “He’s puttin’ a wang in the butthole, dude.”

• “They peed on her. That’s how you know she’s dead, because someone pissed on her.”

• “They raped her harder than that cop raped Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction.”

• “They raped her quicker than Mike Tyson raped that one girl.”

• “They raped her more than the Duke lacrosse team.”

• “Her pu** is about as dry as the sun right now.”

“At one point, a voice belonging to someone off-camera says, ‘Trent and Ma’lik raped someone.’ The two boys charged in the rape are Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond,” Deadspin reports.

While it is unknown how many other people were present when the video was shot, not all the males in the room took rape as lightly as the ones joking about it.

“What if that was your daughter?” one of them asks in the video.

“But it isn’t,” the male identified as Nodianos replies bluntly.

As Business Insider notes, the hacker group KnightSec also released information on the town sheriff and the rape suspects. The group says the town is “rife with corruption, cronyism, illegal gambling and fixated upon their star high school football team.”

The New York Times and the Atlantic Wire have reported that many people in Steubenville have rallied around the football team and blamed the unknown alleged rape victim for making up the story.

The Atlantic Wire recently published a photo, released by Anonymous, of the girl being carried around while allegedly unconscious by her alleged attackers.

“The idea that a rape victim made up her story is still floating around, despite photos of the girl being carried around while allegedly unconscious by her alleged attackers,” the Atlantic Wire reported.

Steubenville Police Chief Bill McCafferty released the following statement regarding the video on Wednesday:

The Steubenville police department has been aware of this recent video that was released. Since late August 2012 the subject who made the video was interviewed. This has all been turned over to the prosecutors which are the Ohio Attorney Generals Office, who is prosecuting this case. It’s always been the policy of the Steubenville Police Department not to make comments on details of a case prior to it going to trial. I know this is frustrating for some. I can’t change that now, as you know this is a high profile case and for the parties interested I believe I should not make a comment on it because I can’t make a comment on it. It’s being handled by an outside agency

    Girls are sexualized and the schools, Hollywood and the liberals support it. This the horrific outcome. 1968, Pope Paul VI predicted this type of behavior. Women should be cherished and adored instead they are convinced killing their unborn and sleeping with whoever wants them is the new norm. It takes away their preciousness.

    Just note that the only thing new to this situation is the camera. Humans have been evil to each other for tens of thousands of years and even before that. Whole cultures say what these people did is just fine if the victim is of a lower type of person. Yes they made the victim a lower type of person with drugs or alcohol but others set it by color, race or religion. Some religion leaders say to the followers to go out and do what these people did. No evil that humans do to humans now is new, many are centuries old type of evil.

      Good for Stupidville that they have a HS football team they can be proud of!
      Maybe they can give the HS sports teams a new nickname. “The Rapers”?

When the one asks the other “What if it was your daughter?” and the other one says “but its not”, that says a lot about people.

      “No respect for human life” when in the womb, contempt for fellow man when out of the womb.
      I find it puzzling that creatures like these boys in the video even have “friends”. Anyone who could even talk of such cruelty while laughing and giggling must be incapable of feeling love, let alone friendship. Their brains should be surgically remove and studied; their DNA searched for the Evil Gene. The “Sandy Hook” butcher had more compassion than these creatures.

    Okay all the laughing while they talk about this young girl. My guess is they gave her some date rape drug & then thought they could just rape her & get away with it. She probably was there as a guest of one of the boys not realizing what was about to happen. But then they laugh and laugh and laugh about doing horrible things to her because she did not resist them aka she’s dead. The rapists and all the onlookers need to be punished severely. We complain when this goes on in India or Afghanistan, well hey it happens here! What are you gonna do about it? I hope they find everyone in that room & yes their bright futures need to be stripped away!

      You’re absolutely right. How often does the average person hear people sitting around joking about something like this. What would the average person think if they heard people talking like this? If the normal person wouldn’t think anything of it and people talk and joke about things like this frequently then I guess I just live in a very different America than I grew up in. I just can’t understand what’s so funny about a young woman being defiled, hurt, and raped. Would they think it was funny if some pervert raped them.

      Actually, there is one thing in Islamic countries that sometimes I agree with. “Tit for tat”……..maybe the boys that did the deed need to have the same thing happen to them. I know it isn’t “Christian” but even the Old Testament says “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” when it comes to crimes against other humans. As a victim of sexual assalt, myself, this girl will be a mess for a long time. She made some bad decisions but she certainly didn’t deserve this. I’m sorry folks but this is what happens, when parents stop being parents or there are no parents or family around. Thank God I have an awesome family!

      @mtnvortex You’re an idiot, just like the leftist idiots. You see, when Conservatives put blame on certain movies, we mean to discourage and expose such filth. When the Left puts blame on whatever, they mean to pass laws that force everyone to comply to some form of restricted privilege. We Conservatives blame movies and intend for people to not go watch those movies. Liberals on the other hand, would by law ban theaters all together. You see, we speak of responsibility, not forced compliance. Something that the left, and apparently you, don’t seem to understand. When we Conservatives come up with solutions, we intend for people to execute those solutions, when the left comes up with solutions, they intend the people to follow them or get executed. If you can’t differentiate the two, you’re an idiot. We count on the individual to make the right choice. The left discounts the individual and makes the choice for them. We put great emphasis on doing what is right. The left puts a hand on you if don’t do what they say. We blame certain movies, music, and the such, and by doing so, blame the people themselves. When the left blames certain things, they punish everyone. We don’t mean to ban overly bloody movies, but for people to be personally accountable, not subject to the state, but accepting of the consequences resulting from their choices. We mean for people to learn by experience, while the left intends to make examples out of the people.

The culprit is Hollywood and the way they portray sex and sexual abuse of women. The culprit is pornography and the way it has disconnected men from women.

      @Zeus – it appears that you believe it is okay to be evil just because evil has been around for centuries. Are you suggesting that we should sweep it under the rug and not get “hysterical”. You da** right I’m hysterical – these are evil creatures doing evil deeds. And these acts need to be brought to the mainstream and prosecuted. (BTW, Zeus is the Lord? Hmmm.. what is one of the 10, no gods before me – whoa to you brother.)

      KingCoal, of course it’s not to be accepted, but I appreciate the typical shrill overreaching and extrapolations that one finds in Fox News bootsteppers…

      KingCoal: I have to add parents that allow their daughters to dress a certain way. I was a substitute at our local high school. One day I actually told a group of girls in the front row to pull up their shirts their because I didn’t want to see “them”. They were actually offended that I thought their shirts were too low.

      I am not saying it is the girl’s fault. I am saying that we need to also hold our daughter’s accountable to their behavior and actions. Trust me; it is not easy to do that in today’s society.
