29. I was sitting here reading the OP and I just about fell off my chair when I read that part...

Jan 2013

I pictured that scenario...some guys come in carrying an unconscious underage girl, and all the coach can say is to take her somewhere else??? Jesus, Mary & Joseph!!!

I do believe that athletic coaches fall into the category of mandated reporters of child abuse.

That particular coach, and every other coach who had any knowledge of this should be fired before Monday, and criminal charges should be filed against them, forthwith.

Furthermore, a significant number of the residents of that town should hang their heads in shame. From what I've read, the attempt to cover up the crime was pervasive among the citizenry there (although some individuals have come forward with evidence).

Oh, and that stupid sheriff should be run out of town on a rail.

Thank goodness for Anonymous. More power to them.

On edit> That young man who's currently at Ohio State on a football scholarship should have said scholarship taken away and given to someone who is deserving of it.
