The trial of two high school football players who are accused of raping a highly intoxicated teenage girl is threatening to tear the close knit community of Steubenville, Ohio apart at the seams, and Breaking Celebrity News has exclusive details on how the disturbing case has divided the residents and black-marked a senior year.
“It is totally devastating for everyone involved on both sides,” local resident Willa Wade tells Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview.
“My granddaughter is a senior at the school and is in her graduating year while this is all going on,” Wade reveals. “She was in tears the other day and said to me, ‘Grandma, my class is always going to be known as the rape class.’
“Rape is a fact of life, it goes all the way back to biblical times. We all make mistakes but we just grew up in a time when it didn’t go viral and everyone in the world didn’t have an opinion on it,”
