The Steubenville Files
http://localleaks.blogs.ru/2013/01/01/steubenvillefiles/
Ever since we launched LocalLeaks in June of 2011, we have received hundreds of leaks. Many of our disclosures have caused us to pause with grief for the victims of corruption or wrong-doing. But nothing has so completely moved the staff of LocalLeaks with such heart-break as this disclosure has. When we were presented with the copious body of material that is the source for this disclosure, all the LocalLeaks volunteers began working around the clock to organize, analyze, fact-check, verify and prepare this disclosure for release. First and foremost, our heart and condolences go out to the young lady who was the victim of this brutal and brazen attack, and to her family. We pray that this disclosure can bring them some comfort, and that by bringing a measure of transparency to Steubenville, Ohio perhaps also some REAL justice to the victim of this horrible crime.
This disclosure is ONGOING. We expect to be updating this page several times a day for the foreseeable future, so check back often for new material. The staff of LocalLeaks is still receiving leaks from every strata of society in Steubenville, and we expect to receive even more material now that we have released this disclosure to the public. LocalLeaks will continue to analyze this new material and add to this disclosure indefinitely. We STRONGLY urge anyone with sensitive material or information regarding this disclosure to go to our main website and leak that information to us. We promise to protect your anonymity and to get the biggest political impact for the risk that you take. Finally, we KNOW from the evidence that there are not only more attackers in this Rape Crew out there that need to be apprehended and brought to justice, but we are absolutely certain there are more victims as well. We know of at least three other girls who were drugged and gang raped by The Rape Crew last year. If you have been victimized by these young men, we BEG of you to PLEASE come forward. Tell your parents, confide in a counselor anything. If you trust no one else, then contact us we will keep you safe and work with you to help you receive the justice you deserve

She did recuse herself on August 27, 2012, the rape was reported in August 14, 2012

Why did she meet with the victim and her family and discourage them from filing charges?

Does the web site address the issue of missing evidence while in the sheriff's possession?

The fact that that's the main thing people there are worried about is telling, isn't it?
