On Sunday, the teenagers, Trent Mays and Ma'lik Richmond, were found delinquent in the sexual assault of the girl who witnesses testified was too drunk to move or speak. The case sparked a national controversy following the emergence of images and social media postings from the night of the assault. Democracy Now! is joined by Alexandria Goddard, a crime blogger who first exposed crucial evidence in the case by taking screen shots of incriminating social media posts, photographs and videos before they could be deleted. The hacker group Anonymous picked up on Goddard's posts and released shocking video from the night of the assault. We also speak to Marc Randazza, a First Amendment lawyer who represented Goddard when she was unsuccessfully sued for defamation. "I'm convinced that if she hadn't started blogging about this, and Anonymous hadn't taken up the standard, that this case would have been swept under the rug," Randazza says. <br /> Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:05:00 -0700 http://news.linktv.org/videos/steubenville-trial-blogger-who-exposed-ohio-high-school-rape-case-speaks-out Steubenville, Ohio, Steubenville High School, Rape, Marc Randazza, Anonymous, High school football in North America, Social media, Violence against women, Sexual assault, Ohio Two high school football players in Steubenville, Ohio, have been found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl at a party last August.

And why were they able to hack them? The answer in the following report by my colleague Rami al-Amine. Guest, Male #2 But the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country. We are angry, the attitude of the Lebanese government and the financial elite strictly opposes to values and rituals we uphold. The government must exist to serve the will of the people. Reporter, Male #3 In clear emulation of the character "V" from the movie "V for Vendetta", a group of hackers addresses the Lebanese state, sending it a severe message. Guest, Male #2 I have been watching recent events with great agony and rage as they surpass our patience levels. Reporter, Male #3 We stumbled onto the video that was uploaded on YouTube on March 3rd while looking for clues that would lead us to a group of hackers that attacked Lebanese government websites. The group goes by "Raise Your Voice." We sent the group a message through Facebook. They responded by asking us to send our questions to this email address, which we did, but we did not receive satisfying answers. So we inquired again. The group responded that it will issue a statement soon disclosing its goals and beliefs. But who is a hacker usually? Guest, Male #4 (Hussein Qashmir, Information Technology Expert) Those people are usually good technicians; their background is in programming, and they're very familiar with how websites work, so they know their points of vulnerability. And this is what happened here. They didn't try to attack one site, but went after several sites to detect the issues they have. So they knew the vulnerability of all these websites. Reporter, Male #4 Not all these sites have been fully restored. Most removed the message the hackers left on their main page, but they are still in tatters. Even the homepage of the president of the republic still has some problems. Reporter, Male #3 Most government websites lack required protection and technical maintenance. The reason is a lack of experience. Guest, Male #2 Join us as we combat corrupt governmental institutions, and its military industrial complex. Lebanon, engage. Reporter, Male #3 It is worth mentioning that a majority of this group of Lebanese hackers is affiliated with the international group "Anonymous," whose members are unidentified. However, Lebanese security institutions, specifically the branch that fights online crimes, are looking for these hackers to hold them accountable. Many Lebanese are hoping the state won't succeed. A pirate evokes this picture in the minds of some. But the faces of the pirates we are discussing resemble ours. They are intelligent people who sit behind their computer screens. For the state and law, they are criminals. But for most Lebanese, they are heroes.
