Ohio State University Pulled Into Steubenville Rape Controversy

Social media posters voiced frustration at Ohio State University recently for not expelling a student seen in a video that went viral that shows a young man joking about the alleged brutal rape of a 16-year-old high school girl.

10TV.com reports “criticism is growing against Ohio State University, with many people blasting the school through online comments,” while “Ohio State has told 10TV that the teen is no longer an OSU student.”

In the video, a teen wearing an Ohio State T-shirt continually mocks and degrades the victim.

“She’s deader than Obi Wan Kenobi after Darth Vader cut his head off. That’s how dead she is,” the teen joked, 10TV.com reports:

It was the T-shirt and the confirmation in the video that the teen attended Ohio State that led to an outcry on the university’s Facebook page. (Dozens of) comments included calls to remove the student, saying “that kid should be gone” and “shame on OSU for taking so long to expel him.” … Another Facebook page (was) created specifically to expel the teen; it had 1,500 “LIKES” by mid-day.… “What we can confirm is that the Ohio State student in question was in attendance only through December 12,” (read an official university statement). …The school has not said if the teen was expelled from the university or left voluntarily in December.
