STEUBENVILLE, Ohio — Prosecutors on Thursday introduced graphic text messages in the trial of two Ohio high school football players charged with raping a 16-year-old girl.
The texts include messages from the alleged victim in which she says she doesn’t remember the night of the attack and is trying to find out what happened. The girl also implies that she believes she was drugged that night.

“Swear to God I don’t remember doing anything with them,” the girl wrote to a friend who authorities say saw the assaults.
“I wasn’t being a . They were taking advantage of me,” she also wrote to the same boy.
Ma’Lik Richmond, 16, and Trent Mays, 17, are charged with digitally penetrating the West Virginia girl, first in the back seat of a moving car after a party Aug. 11 and then in the basement of a house. Mays also is charged with illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material. The two maintain their innocence.
Prosecutors insist she was too drunk to consent to sex, while defense attorneys have portrayed her as someone who was intoxicated but still in control of her actions. Witnesses have said the girl was so drunk she threw up and had trouble walking and speaking.
Special Judge Thomas Lipps is hearing the case without a jury. He told participants Thursday he would keep the trial in session well into the evening and through the weekend.
The case has riveted the small city of Steubenville amid allegations that more students should have been charged and led to questions about the influence of the local football team, a source of a pride in a community that suffered massive job losses with the collapse of the steel industry.
The texts introduced Thursday in juvenile court also included ones in which Mays admitted that he digitally penetrated the girl.
He also sent messages to his friends to try to get them to gloss over what happened that night. In a text to a boy who lives in the house where the second attack is said to have happened, Mays wrote, “Just say she came to your house and passed out.”
Authorities said they collected 17 cellphones in their investigation. The evidence they yielded is considered crucial to prosecutors’ case against the boys because of photos taken that evening.
Three teenage boys who are key to the prosecution’s case are still to take the stand this week. Defense attorneys could call the girl to testify since a West Virginia judge ruled Tuesday night that she and two of her friends could be subpoenaed.
If convicted, Mays and Richmond could be held in a juvenile jail until they turn 21.
The Associated Press normally does not identify minors charged in juvenile court, but Mays and Richmond have been widely identified in news coverage, and their names have been used in open court.

One of the funniest things I 've ever read on ST.
the key element is not whether the agreed to have sex voluntarily or she got ed while being unconscious. the fact of matter is that she should've never gone to a bar with two guys and got drunk as . i mean if you're a 16yr old girl and you drink that much alcohol w/o your parents or anyone you trust being with you, but with only two male footballers, it can be simply translated as that you voluntarily give up your body to them and give them perssion to do everything they want with your pussy.
not sure about ohio laws but in most other states, a 16yr old is lawfully able to take full responsibility of himself or herself imho. the 16yr old is a legit and if she only wants to draw some attention from mainstream media, she already did it so please do the poor s a ING favor and let them go
Here's my question for you all to ponder.
If it is said that being drunk voids consent, then doesn't being drunk also void being responsible? Why would they be responsibloe for rape, if being drunk is an excuse?
being intoxicated is a choice
being a PASSIVE, incapacitated victim of crime while intoxicated is not a crime.
ACTIVELY committing a crime, exercising CAPACITY, while intoxicated is also a choice, and is a crime. Not everybody who gets extremely drunk commits crimes, so those who do need punishing, just like the well-established criminalization and punishment of drunk drivers.
bump^
looks like things are stirring up....
They raped PERIOD.
It's pretty obvious they consented to their part of the rape, but good job standing up for rapists, I guess.
In Wild Cobra fashion he blames the victim
The raped girl was a lib plant to embarrass the Repug Rape Caucus.
--WC
found guilty of rape, or legitimate rape?
In OH, digital rape is same as penile rape. Probably no mention of cigars.
The Repug Rape Caucus position is that since she didn't say no, she meant yes.
Or as Yalies like to chant, "No means Yes, Yes means anal"
My God -- how far up your ass did you have to go to pull that out?
Despite WC's stance condoning rape, digitally or otherwise is not a Republican conservative position. Little ers are getting off light in juvie.
WC wtf lol
a new low
http://www.wksu.org/news/story/34965The two players at the center of the story were convicted. One, a 16-year-old, was sentenced to a minimum of 1 year in juvenile detention. The other, a 17-year-old, will serve a minimum of 2 years.
maybe. they are convicted felons and will register for life as sex criminals.
And Fox Repug Propaganda network Plame-d her name.
