I'd be happy with feather-tickle confessions.

doglover: vygramul: How do you know it isn't Boudicca?

Because we know what happened to her body.

Besides, Boudicca and her daughters were raped to send a message that Rome rules Picts drools and that's what sparked her whole little rape and murder of an entire city.

When you're so drunk that you're throwing up, it's clear that you are NOT in any condition to give consent to having sex, or to make any rational decision, for that matter.

Popcorn Johnny: Unrealistic Decoy: This is very sad. My home town of Halifax is a shameful place sometimes. The school, the RCMP (Canadian nation police), the kids involved, their parents, and the justice system have all failed this girl and her family. Here are a whole bunch of things I don't get:

What I don't get is how you feel your in a position to pass judgement on another person when you have no idea what happened. Care to explain how it is that you know more than the people who conducted the investigation?

What's sickening to me about all this is how many of you are willing to send people to prison without proof of a crime being committed.


 That's what court is for. I don't think anyone wants to put them in prison without a trial.

Wyalt Derp: Rehtaeh?

She never stood a chance.


Doubly so ... look at this subconscious word play in the family

Rehtaeh => Hate her

As for her younger sisters

Temyson => Mens toy
Teaghan => hang Tea  (Assuming that she uses a shortened name as she gets older)

/Anagrams :D

luxup: The truly sad part as I see it is not that she didn't have the self esteem to navigate these situations (I mean come on, piss drunk with the boys doesn't scream 'look how much I love myself') but that rather it seems her family failed her.  They moved AFTER the rape because of all the bullying.  That there is called running away from the problem.  Most likely it's how they handled other problems as well and if that is what she was learning from her parents I'm not surprised at the unfortunate outcome.

 I find it odd that she doesn't have any pictures with her mom / the mom's boyfriend or even just the mom. Something tells me that all wasn't well in her house. From the pictures it would seem that animals, a couple friends, booze, and weed were her only means of family comfort. It sounds like she just needed to be with and live with her daddy. Her father posted a long blog entry about her as the only content he will be giving to the media. I wonder how long she lived in the house with her mom / the mom's long time boyfriend and how often she was able to see her real dad.

Glen Canning (the father) - "I asked her repeatedly what I could do, was I doing enough, what did she want from me? She said she just wanted me to be her dad. To make her laugh. To do everything possible to keep a part of her life normal. She said it helped more than I could ever know."http://www.videojournalist.ca/

miss diminutive: "An investigation into an earlier sexual assault was completed, and in consultation with the Crown, there was insufficient evidence to lay charges," MacRae said.

So there's apparently picture evidence of the crime being distributed by the offenders and the Crown doesn't have enough evidence to charge them?

Also, maybe I'm already out of touch with today's youth, but who bullies a girl who's been a victim of rape? Seriously? I know I did some pretty hurtful things in my biatchy teenage days, but something like this would have never crossed my mind. I honestly don't understand.

Anyway, my heart breaks for this girl.


In the USA it would at least be distribution of child porn and every kid in the school who sent it would go to jail.

Guess Canada is a lawless, messed up place.

Egoy3k: Anybody who thinks these boys being football players has anything to do with them getting away with this have never been to Nova Scotia. Football isn't exactly super popular or revered here like it is elsewhere. Trust me on this one I played varsity football in high school in Nova Scotia. We won two championships in my three years and it still wasn't that big of a deal to most people. It's getting more popular now but it's still a long way from the status of basketball, soccer, or the holiest of all sports which is, of course, hockey.

Could be different up there in Canada. In the US, you can fark children in the ass so long as you're part of a successful football program.

It's been a few years since I read it, but didn't "The Godfather" start like that? A man's daughter is raped, the rapists walk due to the crappy legal system and the aggrieved father (an old world fellow who had an old world sense of honor) appealed to Don Corleone for justice.

The rapists didn't make it.

ARedthorn: A lot of people here seem to be wondering how there was 'insufficient evidence...'

I can answer that question pretty easily, actually.

Let's assume for a second that there was a rape- it did happen, no consent.
That's easy enough- not just underage, but drunk... the entirety of the western world has laws preventing someone from being held to a contract signed while visibly intoxicated or under duress precisely because they're incapable of consenting... I see that as precedent for the same limitations on consent here.
If I sign a contract drunk, I can later get out of the contract by saying I didn't understand what was going on. If the photos (and any personal account or witness statement) confirm she was as far gone as I'd suspect here... even if she gave something that got taken as consent... she has a legal right to retract that consent once sober, in theory. [Word of warning to guys here- if she's buzzed, you're probably ok... wasted... even a yes is shaky, so just... don't.]

If the photo didn't include the boy's face, we very quickly have a problem.
She was drunk- she may not be able to identify the boys accurately (or accurately enough).
Even if the photo has identifying features (distinguishing birthmark or summat), they'd at least need a specific accusation against the correct individual to compel him to show it for comparison.
If it doesn't... well. We have a problem because we have a victim, but no way to identify the suspect beyond the hazy memories of a drunken, traumatic event.

As for the photo(s?)... they went viral- at a certain point, well before viral, it becomes impossible to trace them back to a source.
And bloody difficult to charge everyone who ever shared it with a count of child pornography, simply because there aren't enough handcuffs to go around.

Evidence may abound, but it's also all useless evidence unless a suspect comes forward and confesses, or someone close to the event is able to identify him/them.

Police have to let crimes they KNOW happened slide all the time because they are literally unable to pursue them... they lack a victim willing to prosecute, or legally usable evidence, or even a good suspect... or once in a while, they have all of the above, but lack the resources to do anything about it.

In other news, sounds like some dude(s) need a killin'. But in the meantime, I'm OK with this: Multiple Anonymous-affiliated OP accounts are already trying to find and publish the identities of the four men involved with Rehtaeh's rape.

As a father of two little girls, I can say without a doubt, that if this was my little girl, I would be in jail now. And all four of those boys would be maimed for life. Death would be too easy for these monsters.

What would be hard would be figuring out how to live without their cock and balls.

I'm not being an ITG here. If someone put my daughter through what these monsters did, then God help them, because they would not get any mercy from me.

Fallout Boy: BarkingUnicorn: Fallout Boy: Alright, I'll be the first to ask:

Was it rape-rape?

/Hell, please

It was rape-rape-rape-rape if all four boys did it.  And we know they did, for certain, because every rape victim and everyone who's ever known a rape victim tells us so.

Rapists are scum.  Rape vigilantes are animals.

What if a boy took turn twice?

These are the thoughts that keep me up at night. And out of normal society.

I was bullied a lot in high school. Mostly by other boys. Some of them are cool people now. Again, it's teens more than anything.

Not to mention stories like this explain why in Japan you can't play Hangman or anything like that in class because so many kids have hung themselves it's taboo. You think bullying in a western school is bad, try the bullying you get when you have to spend all day every day in the same classroom with the same kids for three years.
