Teens sentenced in sex assault-Twitter case


Recommended Posts

LOUISVILLE, KY (AP) ? A judge sentenced two Kentucky teenagers on Friday to community service and sex offender treatment for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl who later identified her attackers on Twitter.

Savannah Dietrich posted the boys' names on Twitter despite a gag order because she thought the initial plea deal in June was too lenient. She said she also was unaware a deal had been reached until just before it was announced.

Jefferson County District Judge Angela McCormick Bisig slightly altered the initial deal, saying the pair, now 17 years old, may seek to have the sexual assault charges reduced when they are 21. The previous agreement expunged their record automatically before they turned 20.

The judge also ordered them to surrender the names of anyone who saw semi-nude photos of an unconscious Dietrich, something she had wanted all along. The teens said the assault occurred after a night of drinking in August 2011.

After the judge announced the sentence, a composed Dietrich said she was satisfied and will walk away a smarter person. She doubted her attackers understand the impact of their actions.

"I'm not sure it meant anything to them," Dietrich said. "I hope one day they'll understand the situation."

The assault gained public attention when Dietrich tweeted the names of the boys against a judge's orders not to discuss the case. Defense attorneys had asked a judge to consider a contempt charge for Dietrich, but dropped their request.

She very well could have been unconsious the entire time. but the blame, in my opnion is still on all 3. She was 17, she had no bunsiness drinking that much anyways. or at all.

that isn't at all what I'm saying. what im saying is there are to many cases where someone sleeps with someone drunk and claims it was rape. So you'll have to excuse me if I am a bit skeptical. Especially considering the light sentences for the 2 boys. There is a reason teens shouldn't drink. I can assure you those 2 ****s wouldn't have done what they did sober.

I should have been more clear. If what is said happened is true. Then it's ****ed up what happen to her. But my thing on her drinking still stands.
