Product Description:
Steubenville: After the Party's Over (Enhanced DVD) Steubenville, Ohio. It's a small, sleepy town in eastern Ohio with a population just above 18,000 people. Until a few years ago, few had heard of the town. But since late 2012 and early 2013, that's all changed. In March 2013, two Stuebenville High School football stars were charged with and convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl during a post-game party. This ABC News report, "Steubenville: After the Party's Over," sheds some light on the Steubenville rape case that captivated the nation. A twist in the story? There probably never would have been a story at all if young bystanders hadn't recorded videos and taken pictures on their phones and then shared them with friends via Facebook, Twitter and text messages. Police confiscated just 13 cell phones, but that was enough to collect 400,000 pieces of evidence that ultimately convicted the two football players. This famous case received as much notoriety for the atrocity of the rape as it did for the lack of intervention from numerous people who simply watched as unspeakable crimes were committed. This crime and its legal proceedings led to a national conversation about rape and rape culture in the United States. "Steubenville: After the Party's Over" is a must-see for anyone in high school or college or anyone who has kids in high school or college so they can get a glimpse of the current party and rape culture in America and how they can do their part to put an end to it.
Customer Reviews
Two football heroes at Steubenville High School are charged with raping a 16 year old girl during a post game party, and they are convicted. The town was previously known for its football success until this major case. This ABC News report follows the trail of digital evidence which tells a story about repeated sexual violation and humiliation. It highlights a new problem in the 21st century, which is crimes that are recorded rather than reported by other young bystanders. With a lack of experience and little understanding of real world consequences, they often fail to intervene when crimes occur.
