WEBVTT 00:00:03.370 --> 00:00:04.686 Hey! Welcome back to 20 Minutes Or Less, 00:00:04.686 --> 00:00:05.718 my name is Elliot Morgan, 00:00:05.718 --> 00:00:06.747 I'm Trisha Hershberger. 00:00:06.747 --> 00:00:09.754 So 17 year old Savannah Dietrich was sexually assaulted in 2011 00:00:09.754 --> 00:00:12.307 by 2 boys after she passed out from drinking at a party. 00:00:12.307 --> 00:00:13.923 Months after the party she learned that those 2 boys 00:00:13.923 --> 00:00:16.221 had taken pictures and shared them with people. 00:00:16.221 --> 00:00:18.829 Then news of the assault spread around her Louisville high school. 00:00:18.829 --> 00:00:20.124 Last month the boys who attacked her struck a plea deal. 00:00:21.470 --> 00:00:25.476 They plead guilty and were charged with felony sexual abuse and misdemeanor voyeurism. 00:00:25.476 --> 00:00:27.359 Dietrich felt this was not an appropriate punishment 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.226 and that it amounted to a "slap on the wrist". 00:00:30.430 --> 00:00:32.997 Then the court added an order for the victim herself: 00:00:32.997 --> 00:00:35.071 don't talk about it, or go to freakin' jail. 00:00:35.071 --> 00:00:37.379 Because nothing sends a better message to victims of sexual assault 00:00:37.379 --> 00:00:39.152 than telling them not to talk about it. 00:00:39.152 --> 00:00:41.563 When Savannah heard this, she cried, logged onto Twitter and tweeted: 00:00:41.563 --> 00:00:43.075 "There you go, lock me up." 00:00:43.075 --> 00:00:45.504 And then proceeded to give the names of the little worthless pieces of trash, 00:00:45.504 --> 00:00:47.012 and then finished the tweet up with: 00:00:47.012 --> 00:00:49.799 "I'm not protecting anyone that made my life a living hell." 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.381 She immediately violated the stipulation that she not say anything. 00:00:53.381 --> 00:00:55.789 The attacker's attorneys then asked a Jefferson District court judge 00:00:55.789 --> 00:00:59.280 to hold Dietrich in contempt for lashing out on Twitter. 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.762 She could face up to 100 days in jail and a $500 fine if convicted. 00:01:02.762 --> 00:01:03.794 So to summarize: 00:01:03.794 --> 00:01:06.263 the boys who violated this girl got to have it both ways. 00:01:06.263 --> 00:01:09.600 They were able to make what they did public to whoever they wanted to know, 00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:12.199 and then they were able to tell a court to keep it quiet. 00:01:12.199 --> 00:01:14.026 Dietrich stated on a note on her Facebook wall: 00:01:14.026 --> 00:01:19.361 "If reporting a rape only got me to the point that I'm not allowed to talk about it, then I regret it. I regret reporting it." 00:01:19.361 --> 00:01:21.974 But, one good thing that has come out of this 00:01:21.974 --> 00:01:24.559 is that Savannah recently opened her Facebook page to the public, 00:01:24.559 --> 00:01:29.192 allowing hundreds of random friend requests from people offering financial support 00:01:29.192 --> 00:01:30.323 and petitions in her cause. 00:01:30.323 --> 00:01:31.804 And with her Facebook page and Twitter account, 00:01:31.804 --> 00:01:35.434 Savannah Dietrich gets to control what people see of her, for once. 00:01:35.434 --> 00:01:36.720 It's ironic that technology, 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:38.221 which helped humiliate her previously, 00:01:38.221 --> 00:01:40.347 is now allowing her to put her best foot forward. 00:01:40.347 --> 00:01:43.745 The judge behind the ruling is named Judge Deana "Dee" McDonald. 00:01:43.745 --> 00:01:45.435 The defense attorneys for her rapists are 00:01:45.435 --> 00:01:47.873 Chris Klein and David Mejia. 00:01:47.873 --> 00:01:50.215 Oh!
