Mon Jan 7, 2013, 02:32 PM
Jan 2013

Anyone can call any college and request verification of degrees and certificates awarded, current enrollment, or dates of attendance. It's part of the public record, and it's a required service to keep people from claiming fraudulent degrees or classroom time. Many individual schools place limits or charge fees for the verification, and others require that you go through third party services so that they don't have to deal with the requesters directly, but that's a school policy thing and not any law or societal expectation.

His enrollment is not "private/personal information" any more than his name is. His actual grades, his disciplinary record, and other documentation associated with his enrollment would be private, but the status of his enrollment and awards is part of the public record.

Tue Jan 8, 2013, 09:55 AM

....during the Great Depression. Before organized crime moved west to Las Vegas after WWII, Steubenville was one of their largest hubs for gambling of any kind. Operating with tacit approval of local police and politicos, a regular system of gambling was run in the the back rooms of clubs and restaurants. When the bosses shifted their gaming interests to the desert, the operators of new Vegas casinos dredged Steubenville for talented table workers; the first couple generations of Vegas dealers, pit bosses and backroom guys were all from Steubenville.

Ohio Governor Kasich gave his latest inauguration speech in Steubenville, when it has been customary to always do that in Columbus. That raised more than a few eyebrows and more than a few questions as to why.

I'll be looking at it. The fact remains that LocalLinks is printing unsourced allegations about corruption there regarding the sheriff, his brother, and a local bar owner. Perhaps Goddard has material to back those claims, but it's not good journalism to print stuff like that without some evidence, which makes me a bit skeptical about claims made there.

he can't be, nor will he be.

In order to be charged, the accessory must have in some way instigated, furthered, or concealed the crime. Merely, being present when the crime was occuring, and failing to stop the criminal conduct, and/or talking about it the conduct, even as the conduct is being commit, is not likely to meet the thresh-hold.

I haven't seen the video (I refuse to); but the only way I see him being charged would be if he were heard telling the guys, "Go on ... get some" or if he was "cheering" the guy(s) on.

In order to comment on this you are going to have to watch the video. And remember that the police investigators had the video last October. They said so in the probable cause hearing. The sheriff lied in recent press conferences when he said that they only just learned about the video.

Read the witnesses' testimony here, and the testimony of police detective Riegaud who says that he reviewed the video that Anonymous recently reposted to the web. The authorities had access to that video last fall. Note the date on this article:

This case is very disturbing ... one so many levels ... such as, an entire community's willingness to look passed the crime/demonize the victim; the state of society where boys would think that their conduct was OK; and, although there were up to 15 guys involved, only two are being prosecuted ... as juveniles.

Mon Jan 7, 2013, 03:22 PM

You assured us 'he can't be, nor will he be'

You haven't watched the video in question, you have no access to or knowledge of the initial investigation, you referenced ORC2921.22 (which already applies to 'classes' of persons and is irrelevant to the OP)

but you're certain he can't be charged

You may have been a very good lawyer, but I would be worried about you representing me, even pro bono. If you are interested in telling people that they have reached the wrong conclusions, you should do more than say I know better because I am a lawyer.
I think that just telling people they are wrong but you will not explain why, is not a credible statement.

My point is there is no duty to report a crime, unless you are in a specified class of person that creates the duty.

I (and others) are correct ... I probably shouldn't have made the declarative, without being willing to argue/explain the point.
I guess I'm still trying to gain my non-argumentative legs.

Mon Jan 7, 2013, 04:34 PM

But your statements here are a bit odd. You admit to a rather profound ignorance of the facts in this case but offer your "expert" opinion anyway. You are quite clear in stating that you have not viewed the video, and you seem to be completely aware that what the young man says and does in that video is of profound importance in terms of what he may be charged with, and yet you feel qualified to state what he can charged with?

That's just strange logic right there. I've never known a practicing lawyer to be quite so loose throwing their legal opinion around while simultaneously admitting a lack of knowledge about the very case they are speaking of.

From what I've heard of the video (including a statement this morning from Ohio AG DeWine), this kid is/was mocking the victim ... I had not heard that he admitted having participated in the rape. My comment was on that basis.

i wonder what their local blowhards are saying about it all. here's one eg

seabeyond (81,371 posts)
47. local radio. David Bloomquist, known as "Bloomdaddy."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2127300

hugely popular morning radio host

"These girls at these parties, sometimes they drink a little bit too much, sometimes they get a little promiscuous, all of the sudden they're being called, you know, a whore, what have you, and it's really easy to say that you were taken advantage of rather than own up to the fact that 'Hey look, I did what I did.'"

Bloomquist then went on to say that he thinks the report by the 14-year-old was "she said - he said" and was likely consensual.

"I guess the best way to sum up what I'm saying is this: It's easier to tell your parents you were raped then, 'Hey mom or dad, I got drunk and decided to let three guys have their way with me.' "

Bloomquist told The Plain Dealer this week that his roll as a host is to talk about both sides of the issue and provoke conversation.

"I'm not pointing a finger at the girls," he explained. "I am trying to tell the story from all angles."

"Who's to put the blame on the boys until they are found guilty?" he said. "Rape is a heavy word. ... Rape to me is forced. Rape to me is taking advantage of someone when they have no idea what's going on."


our schools and unis need to end their support for RW radio. when they start to do that RW radio and the tea/talk radio party is done and we'll have a much more patriotic and intelligent GOP.

Next: lets hope charges are brought against this scum bag....

his OSU scholarship is still valid
and he could go back to school at a later time (possibly summer or next fall)

so he may not be completely gone from Ohio State

There just seems to be no end to the long list of what kind of illegal activities and violations took place and yet the law enforcement and prosecutors couldnt come up with anything but 2 people in juvenile court? Really? No adults who owned these houses charged for providing alchohol to minors? Nothing?

And then this rifle with hunting scope laying on floor in clear view in video....its just unbelievable....

Mon Jan 7, 2013, 05:16 PM

....the conspirator and master-mind behind the kidnapping, abduction, drugging and raping and sodomizing of a minor, across state lines, and then for aiding in the distribution of child pornography of any nude photos. He should be charged with any law that he violated which if the information being provided and leaked by Anonymous is true, is a lot.

The reason we are talking specifically only about Michael "I fuck dead people" Nordianos, was because this original post was about him no longer being at OSU. But in my opinion, every single one of those monsters who were there, participating, witnessing, knowing, etc....should have their names known like scarlet RED letters that burn bright everywhere they go....that everyone knows that they are the lowest forms of life there can be....

Cody "you will regret ever breaking up with me" Saltsman.....which really should be Cody "you will regret ever dating me" Saltsman....

....not the others....OMG....

How is it that these are not admissions of participation and witnessing of crimes? He clearly was witness to her being raped - mocked it, probably raped her too. Failed to report it. Clearly knew that it was rape and not sex since he chooses the song "rape me" as theme of night.....and even though we says in video rant a clear referenceabout not making a sound during being anally sodomized, he mocks it in a tweet too?

OMG....and he isnt charged with any crime? Not even a misdemeanor? He is still eligible to be a student at OSU and has a lawyer come out in a press conference and imply that he is leaving OSU by his own choice for his safety until things "die down"? Is this some kind of sick nightmare? How can this be happening?

Mon Jan 7, 2013, 04:49 PM
Jan 2013

They also nailed Sandusky and did so while still, as far as I know, protecting the minors from the press. It's not like the people in the vicinity don't know the identity of the girl/s involved. I'm praying it will be a landmark national case for sexual assault and exposure of the under belly of the "just good natured, nothing serious hazing" that is rampant in most sports programs that create a royalty of prima donas...same for the frat houses.

Also, girls often feel the need to support their culture of abusers rightfully fearful they might turn on them ... typical domestic abuse cycle of violence. Notice that there had to be a federal law to promote awareness and to legislate Violence Against Women.

I acknowledge all my male friends, family and acquaintances and those on this board that support and further these principles.
