Horrific photos of an alleged rape, sexual assault in progress was shared on Twitter, Instagram by onlookers at a college homecoming celebration who chose to take pictures and videos of the sex act rather than stopping it.
The obviously drunk woman is seen receiving oral sex from a man with a crowd watching.
She reportedly had no idea what happened to her until the next morning when she saw the photos online. That was when she now contacted the police to report the rape.
Police are now investigating the case but the community is already going on the attack. As not only was the scene of the alleged crime a busy street but it was also one block away from the police station. ‘Some of us are really angered and disappointed that no one intervened and they just filmed it,’ said Allie Erwin, a student at Ohio University who leads an anti-rape group on campus.
‘Their first impulse was to share it on social media and make a mockery of something that was probably the worst thing that’s ever happened to her. There are other people who saw it as her asking for it and think it’s a joke. Basically they’re slut-shaming her for what happened.
The response on social media is kind of heartbreaking, how harsh and cruel people are being.’
