After news broke late Tuesday afternoon that Serena Williams had some valuable opinions to share about the Steubenville rape case, it seemed only a matter of time before she'd have to come out and clarify those comments. That time is now.
Because you were waiting with bated breath for Serena Williams' thoughts on the Steubenville rape case: she thinks the 16-year-old who was raped by two high school football players who "did something stupid" shouldn't have gotten so drunk. She's also concerned about the girl's virginity.
The 26-year-old leader of Anonymous's "Operation Roll Red Roll" made the Steubenville Ohio rape case go viral. Now he's being targeted by the FBI for hacking and identify theft. They take the forcible penetration of computers very seriously!
Here's never before seen police video of the kids who were present at the Steubenville parties talking about what they saw, and about what went down.
By now we're all painfully aware that our news media are apparently incapable of sensitivity when reporting on the Steubenville rape verdict. The undercurrent of a lot of the coverage has been that Ma'lik Richmond and Trent Mays are not the type of people we should put in prison, on account of their good grades and…
Largely single-sex workplaces are a problem that go beyond the dearth of women in corporate leadership positions, or the nagging brand of puerile misogyny that seems to plague the tech industry — such workplaces help cultivate an insidiously subtle culture of sexual assault in the way they keep men and women from…
Et tu, San Francisco? Et tu?
Right on the heels of the awfulness that was the Steubenville rape case comes a grim report from a small town in Connecticut: two 18-year-old football players from Torrington High School have been charged with the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl. If that weren't distressing enough, "dozens" of Torrington students…
In the wake of the Steubenville verdict, many are feeling helpless about what to do now. Mobilizing around programs that teach everyone — especially children — the value of personhood, even if that person happens to be a woman, has become a very worthwhile cause — and it's exciting to witness the powerful…
There has been, and will continue to be with a grand jury looming a month from now, no shortage of commentary about the Steubenville verdict. Some observers have reacted with victim-blaming protests to the delinquent verdicts handed down to Steubenville football players Trent Mays and Ma'Lik Richmond. Others have…
The morbid parade of awful reactions to the guilty verdicts for two high school football players in the Steubenville rape trial continued into the evening on Monday, with news that two teenage girls were arrested in Ohio for using Facebook and Twitter to threaten the 16-year-old victim.
CNN may have expressed way too much sympathy for convicted rapists Trent Mays and Ma'Lik Richmond, but Fox News somehow managed to out-awful CNN's coverage of the Steubenville trial by airing the 16-year-old victim's name during an American Newsroom broadcast.
If you followed the Steubenville rape trial through to its conclusion yesterday morning when Judge Thomas Lipps handed down "deliquent" verdicts to high school football players Trent Mays and Ma'Lik Richmond for raping a 16-year-old girl after a party last August, you probably subjected yourself to some pretty graphic…
CNN's unconscionable coverage of the Steubenville Rape Case verdict is pissing everyone off. Newscaster Candy Crowley, general correspondent Poppy Harlow, and legal expert Paul Callan all did their very best to focus solely on the guilty verdict's repercussions on the two rapists. There's next to no coverage of the…
A judge found Trent Mays and Ma'lik Richmond, two Steubenville high school football players, guilty on Sunday of raping a 16-year-old girl after a party in August 2012.

When the Steubenville rape trial starts tomorrow, the lawyers for Trent Mays and Ma'lik Richmond, the high school football players accused of raping a heavily intoxicated 16-year-old — decreed a "dead girl" and "so raped" by one charming bystander — will argue that the teenager actually enthusiastically consented at…
A judge ruled today that the media will be allowed in the courtroom when Steubenville High football players Trent Mays and Malik Richmond go to trial in March. Eek.

Every two minutes, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted. Yet, somehow, the Steubenville rape case has managed to capture the nation's notoriously restless attention span. Is it too optimistic to hope the increasingly high-profile case will help dispel some of our country's most deep-rooted myths about rape?
