17-Year-Old Rape Victim Charged for Tweeting Names of Convicted Rapists
“There you go, lock me up,” 17-year-old rape victim Savannah Dietrich tweeted after naming her rapists on Twitter. “I’m not protecting anyone that made my life a living Hell.”
Another tweet read, “Protect rapist is more important than getting justice for the victim in Louisville.”
A brave and defiant Savannah Dietrich explained her outrage, “So many of my rights have been taken away by these boys. I’m at the point, that if I have to go to jail for my rights, I will do it. If they really feel it’s necessary to throw me in jail for talking about what happened to me as opposed to throwing these boys in jail for what they did to me, then I don’t understand justice.”
Good point, Savannah. And although this is juvenile court, since when do we silence victims of violent crimes, especially when the perpetrators not only pleaded guilty, but passed pictures around of their crime – humiliating the victim even further? They sure weren’t silent. They didn’t protect her privacy. Why should they be granted protection they didn’t afford their victim?
