The "Crime" alleged by the author relate to the crime of dissemination of the videotaped attack. and underage drinking. AS to the dissemination of the videotaped attack, I can NOT find any statute that makes that a crime in Ohio, it is a crime to STEAL videos from someone else, but I can NOT see anything about distributing photos or videos of people, even when the person in the Photo or Video objects to the distribution of said Video or Photo.
AS to underage drinking AND serving alcohol to underage teenagers, Here is the Ohio Statute on underage drinking AND serving alcohol to underage minors, go to subsection (E)(1) and Sub Section (F).
http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4301.69
Here is the section that says all of the above is only Misdemeanors of the first through fifth degree (Providing alcohol to teens is a Misdemeanor of the First Degree in Ohio).
http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4301.99
Thus the requirement that people report a FELONY does not come into play AT ALL, for the only crime (except for the Rape) were misdemeanors.
