The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department is being flooded with calls from concerned citizens about an alleged rape case back in August.
Two Steubenville football players are accused of raping an unconscious 16-year-old girl at a party.
Evidence is now coming forward, like this picture that was posted on social media, showing two students carrying the alleged victim.
And now, another video is leaked, showing a former Steubenville athlete, not charged in the crime, but talking about the incident as if it did happen. He keeps referring to the unconscious victim as being dead.
The words from this former student are very disturbing.
The sheriff has seen the video and called it disgusting.
Police say they have interviewed the former student seen and heard on this latest videotape, but would not comment any further.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says the case is moving forward and the two students arrested on rape charges have a hearing in February.
This is a pretty terrible case, and the way these boys are talking about this young woman is just completely unacceptable. I'm not sure what other evidence is there that may prove one way or another what happened, but this video alone is enough to remind us that American rape culture is very much alive and a real problem for all of us.
