Rape Trial Begins for Ohio High Schoolers 
------------------------------------------


 
A trial has begun in Ohio for two high school football players accused
of raping a female classmate last August. The young men possibly
urinated on the girl's unconscious body, later chronicling their actions
on social media sites. During opening statements, prosecutors said the
victim was too drunk to make a decision on her welfare and vowed to
introduce the suspects' social media postings as evidence.
