New Rage In Rapes---Instagram ((adult readers only))

Editor's Note: This post contains graphic images of sexual assault that could trigger certain readers.

Only one day after news of the horrific double rape case cover-up in Maryville, Missouri, there's another alarming sexual assault case coming out of another school, this time at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Similarly to the victim in the Steubenville case, the alleged survivor became aware of her sexual assault after seeing it on social media site Instragram. That's right. This is a thing now. It was only after some of her fellow students literally live-tweeted the non-consensual oral sexual acts and posted it to Instagram, that she knew just what kind of public humiliation and personal violation she had experienced. Ryan Broderick at BuzzFeed took screen-shots since the tweets have since been deleted. Why this was tweeted in the first place, is baffling.

This chilling picture of the beginning of the alleged assault has also since been deleted. 

Someone even sent the photo to Hunter Moore, the man behind one of the biggest Revenge Porn websites, possibly to get him to share it too.

BuzzFeed reports that username @kal_vizuals also posted a video of the assault on his Instagram account. The screen-shot shows that one of the comments is "hahahaha" and that the video had already stacked up 43 "likes". Predictably, his account has now been deleted. An Ohio Nightlife account @Athens_Tonight also tweeted the picture, and then proceeded to remove it. Apparently, posting pictures of vulnerable and potentially intoxicated women is kind of their thing, since at the time when this article was written, this was their latest tweet.
