current event

A sixteen year old girl who calls herself Crystal on youtube pleas for help. She decided to post a video on youtube telling people that she was raped. She desided to do this after the district attourny dismissed her case. She has gotten lots of media attention after posting this video on the internet. The man who had raped her is now being charged with rape.

I think that it is really good that she did this. She felt alone and hopeless before she posted this video. But after she recieved support from so many people. The other good thing about this is that many other people who have been victims of rape, have also posted similar videos on youtube. So this girl helped herself, but she also inspired other victims to tell their stories on the internet.
