Some of these comments are disgusting. She is a child!!!! Idgaf what she wore or looked like. A CHILD!!! doesn’t matter what her peers are doing. No one has the right to do this.

It's humorous until it happens to someone they know. Damn shame.

@BobbyBrown219 I don’t know but to claim she wasn’t hurt is why we don’t take sexual assault seriously. She definitely did get hurt she was sexually assaulted.
