Anonymous's after a nother Steubenville Ohio type
rape case except this time it took place in Maryville Missouri
now this alleged rape involved a 17-year-old high school student who
allegedly raped a fourteen year old high school student
he was originally charged with a felony and a misdemeanor however those charges
were dropped even though he admitted to having sex with her
after she I had a lot about the hall
so %uh this fourteen-year-old girl her name is Daisy coleman
was left in the cold in 22 degree weather
in her front people you lawn right after she was allegedly raped
up she had gone over to a sleepover with her friend who was 13 years old
she had been talking to the 17-year-old football player from her high school
and while they were sleeping over they decided let's make out at the house and
let's go meet up with these boys
while they met up they continue to drink and at
at some point Daisy coleman lost consciousness she did not know is going
on in neither did a 13-year-old girl that she went to this get together with
up that was when she allegedly had sex
well with the 17-year-old his name is Matthew Barnett
and she does not recall remember anything about it
all he remembers is waking up on her front lawn up freezing cold
she noticed that her genitalia was in pain sore mother took her to the
hospital where they found
vaginal tears and they realize that she had been raped
so now the guy says yes we did have sex
yes he had been drinking right now when she
all the way many many hours later which shows ass bush's appoint 30 now call
level
indicating that juicy had a significant alcohol level many hours ago of course
she was at the hospital
7 hours after getting to that
get together and drinking Slessor reappoint 30 so
so we already know that they had the sex so it's not just a matter of all you
know they think that
you know her Jenna tell your dad center he admits ride arm
now this kits all you know brush on the carpet in a way that would explain the
same
but for I for the people who are going to defend the guy is a popular guy
this and his family's connected in the area II I know it what they're gonna say
because they've said in previous cases is
up look she goes the party she gets drunk you sleep with a guy
and then later when our parents by Nasher feels guilty and as she says it
was rape right
and that's why they held but wait a minute
if it wasn't rape why did you just drop her off
in a twenty-two degree weather dropper in the in the front lawn basically
unconscious
yeah wearing nothing but sweat pants and a t-shirt by the way
that doesn't seem like it was awfully consentual
so I mean if that's how you and your consentual dates
if you can call it that the new guess serious mental issues man
so so understand their perspective as we tell you the rest of the story so
initially prosecutors believe that they had a clear-cut case
they had enough evidence to actually go ahead with the trial
as I mentioned Matthew Barnett and also a gentleman by the name is back
were charged doctors charge because he was filming it
as it was occurring so there was actually video evidence indicating that
this girl was unconscious
and she was basically being raped by this guy up
and so prosecutors but we have enough evidence let's go forward
but then all the sudden a few days later the charges were mysteriously dropped
and prosecutors and authorities said that the reason why they dropped the
charges was because
the victim and the victim's mother refused to cooperate except the victim
and the victim's mother
completely denied that and they are outrage to the charges have been dropped
they want to move forward with the case
up so one thing to keep in mind that I find fascinating about this and of
course
this is what anonymous is trying to investigate is that Matthew Barnett
grandfather was a state representative in mister in fact he was reelected four
times he served four terms
up so day are thinking that maybe there were some favors call behind-the-scenes
and also because the fact that he was in the football team and everybody loves
the football team
people want to give a pass anyway so we've seen this in a number
instances where the victim is victimized again
and then they basically ran around town yet right and so the
and I don't blame the mama moms like look I felt like
we were in she wasn't so to some degree danger
and and she's getting her rank that's cool nonstop
she they're saying she deserves that one person one girl got went to the
homecoming dance wearing a dress that said
%uh Matthew one Daisy 0
um like I mean age is like the most disgusting stuff you can ever imagine
and it's very similar to the Steubenville Ohio case because
its big blaming the victim making the victim seem like she some syrup or the
deserves it
and and bullying her to the point where she and her family
literally have to move forty miles away because they can't deal with all the
bullying and all the torment one other super day see part of this is the move
away
and then mysteriously their old house burns down yet
could have been an accident could happen so amazing coincidence
you know you don't know you have actually prosecute if the prosecutor was
actually gonna do its job
it's an awfully weird thing if they've
ike the victims saying no I don't want to cooperate when they were the ones
the whole I don't think that became that seems you're really
unbelievable the victim said they didn't want to cooperate
so you really gotta wonder what the prosecutors up to all the sudden poll
this case
right so now you got a judge it on its merits in you we can just sit here in
the studio and decide what happened
you have to know more but I would want another person
looking at that case that wasn't the original prosecutor absolutely and
unfortunately I think the only other person or people
will be anonymous because at this point the authorities there are
they drop the charges they don't want to move forward with any type of trial
anonymous is upset about that and that's why they released the following
statement: we demand an immediate investigation into the handling by local
authorities a
daisies case why were the suspect initially arrested and then released
how was video and medical evidence not enough to put one of these football
players inside a courtroom
what is the connection up these prosecutors if any
to representative Rex Barnett most at all
we are wondering how do the residents have merrillville sleep at night
we have heard AZ story far too often we heard it from Steubenville
Halifax into town to pray dash in some cases
action meant one thing because it couldn't bring them back both Amanda
Todd and return Parsons
girls not much older than Daisy took their own lives after the adults
the police and the school system failed to protect them
this marriage lol defend these young girls if the police are too cowardly
open up to do their jobs
if justice system has abandoned them and someone else will have to stand for them
jean-paul your hands are dirty
merrillville now look we should never rely on vigilante justice
but I think the whole reason anonymous exists because of how much our
government has let us down
we feel like we can count on anymore the corruption is so low systemic
that like in the old days I feel like this some chairs
a higher level prosecutor would come in and say well let's review this case
or governor or someone right now you feel like if you're an average guy you
have almost no chance
that's why you have groups like anonymous come around say hey wait a
minute
we'll focus attention on this until although some little guy at least has a
chance
yeah I and II I agree that it's sad that you have to
rely on vigilante justice or vigilante investigation into stories like that in
some cases like this
but I'm thankful that it exists because it wasn't for anonymous
what happened in Steubenville would have been brushed under the rug and there
would be absolutely no justice whatsoever
so I i don't know how this will play out it might play out differently
but I have absolutely no hope in the prosecutors in in this story
or any of the authorities that were originally working on this case because
obviously something shady happened behind the scenes if the mother and the
victim are coming forward to the press
right now saying that their outrage and they want to cooperate and they want to
move forward
than I don't really understand why they would just randomly decide to drop the
charges
yen last night a caution is an appointed out there you should never do vigilante
justice is not the right way to go
vigilante investigation is like a weird phenomenon that didn't need to exist
before
but now does exist and thank God because apparently
the government oftentimes unfortunately doesn't want to investigate
he just wants to move %ah
