Steubenville looks to be another Penn State.

79. if saltsman was there, looks like he's going to get off.

Cody Saltsman has asked to make a statement here to express his remorse for the photo and comments that he tweeted. It is also his desire and ours to clarify that we never had any evidence of his direct involvement in the subsequent events of that night. While he may have been present at various parties that evening, there has been no evidence of his involvement in the rape, nor has he been charged with any such crime.

We are happy to post his statement; it is below. We appreciate that Cody acknowledges that he was wrong to utilize social media for his part in this case and we believe that his remorse is genuine. We recognize that some things written here may have created the impression that Cody was involved in the alleged rape, and we wish to clarify that we have no evidence of any such involvement, and it was always the position of this blog that the truth would come out in a court of law – granted the case was moved to an adult venue as juvenile proceedings are generally sealed.

We will continue to cover this rape case and others; we will continue to report on corruption, favoritism, and cronyism regardless of where it occurs; and we will continue to rally against victim-blaming and misogyny. While the lawsuit against us has been resolved, it is clear from recent news coverage that people in positions of power will continue to abuse that power at the expense of others. By proposing to drop the lawsuit and make the statement below, Cody Saltsman has shown that perhaps he can – and we certainly hope he does – grow into a responsible, caring, and empathetic adult. His hometown certainly could use more empathetic and compassionate individuals who are willing to stand up and do the right thing.

This is after his family sued the blogger; the suit was dismissed with prejudice but somehow saltsman came out smelling like a rose.

i don't know what he posted but if it's anything like what was claimed i'm surprised at this outcome.
