Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said the grand jury's work is done and no one else will be charged. He said others in the case who sent texts and pictures about the assault or talked about it acted stupidly, but the grand jury was unable to charge them with specific crimes.

I suppose we should be thankful for what we got out of this, but I'm not clear on how the people who were texting around pictures of the victim can get away scot free. Isn't that distribution of child porn?
