edition.cnn.com/2013/04/12/justice/california-rape-arrests/index.html?hpt=us_c1 QUOTE: Teens accused of posting pictures of sexual assault(CNN) -- Three teenage California boys are facing charges of sexual battery in connection with the alleged rape of a girl who subsequently committed suicide, authorities said. The incident happened at an unsupervised house party in Saratoga, California, in September, but the three 16-year-olds were arrested Thursday, said Santa Clara Sheriff's Office spokesman Jose Cardoza. When evidence goes viral The case is similar to one that played out in court this year in Steubenville, Ohio, where two star football players were convicted of rape for assaulting a girl who had too much to drink. Images in that case were posted on social media sites. In the California case, Santa Clara County Sheriff's detectives say Audrie Pott had too much to drink at a party and passed out. That's when the boys are accused of attacking her. How to help and support young rape victims The boys are accused of taking photos of the attack and sharing them at school, as well as texting them and posting them online. After learning that photos had been posted on the Internet, the 15-year-old Potts wrote in an online post that her life was ruined. She took her own life a few days later. "What happened to Audrie was tragic. It should never have happened," Lauren Cerri, the Pott family attorney, told CNN affiliate KGO. "She had no idea what occurred until she woke up the following morning and had some drawings on her body and in some private areas." The three unidentified boys face two felony and one misdemeanor charge of sexual battery, Cardoza said. Formal charges will come next week. Rape accusations, teens and Twitter attacks in another U.S. town A fellow student told KGO that along with the shock of Pott's death was the chatter of who was involved and how they remained in school. "That it took that long (for an arrest) was pretty ridiculous," Samir Ingle told KGO. "It was maybe half a year. I find that really, really disturbing." In the Steubenville case, Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'lik Richmond, 16, were found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl who had had too much to drink. That trial that gained media attention for its lurid text messages, cell phone pictures and videos, and social media posts surrounding the sexual abuse of the girl.

At least these teenage sex offenders admitted their crime. That's about the only good thing that can be said about them. www.foxnews.com/us/2014/01/16/3-teens-reportedly-admit-to-assaulting-calif-girl-who-committed-suicide/ QUOTE: 3 teens reportedly admit assaulting Calif. girl who committed suicideJan. 16, 2014 SARATOGA, Calif. – Three teenage boys have admitted to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old Northern California girl who later committed suicide after photographs of the attack were circulated to classmates, according to published reports. The San Jose Mercury News first reported the case, soon followed by the San Francisco Chronicle on Wednesday. In September, two 16-year-old boys admitted in Santa Clara County Juvenile Court to participating in the sexual assault and possessing photos of the girl, Audrie Pott, the newspapers reported, citing documents and other sources. Both crimes are felonies. In addition, a 17-year-old boy admitted to the same two felonies, the papers said. The boys' names have not been released, but two have been ordered to serve 30 days --during weekends-- in juvenile detention, and the third was sentenced to 45 consecutive days. That is in stark contrast to the maximum 10-year sentence they might have received as adults. Their sentences are also more lenient than those imposed on two 16-year-olds in Steubenville, Ohio, who received one and two years in juvenile detention, respectively, in a case that has been widely compared to the Pott case. Audrie Potts hanged herself on Sept. 10, 2012, eight days after attending a party at a friend's house in Saratoga, Calif. After drinking Gatorade laced with alcohol, she fell asleep and later woke with her pants off and with lewd comments scribbled all over her body. In the week following the party, Audrie learned that cellphone photos had been taken of her during the assault and shared through text messages, her family said. The three defendants have been sued by Audrie's parents, Lawrence and Sheila Pott. "We cannot publicly comment on any aspect of any criminal proceedings involving these young men," their lawyer, Robert Allard, said in a statement Tuesday. Christopher Arriola, Santa Clara County's supervising deputy district attorney for juvenile justice, said he was also prohibited from commenting on the case. Calls and e-mails to the boys' lawyers Tuesday were not returned, the Mercury News
