It's
not
hard
to
see
the
parallels
between
the
sexual
assault
accusations
against
Supreme
Court
nominee
Brett
Kavanaugh
and
the
2012
Steubenville
rape
case.
Three
decades
apart,
there
is
one
central
difference:
Kavanaugh
has
denied
the
allegations,
and
has
never
been
criminally
charged.
In
the
Steubenville
case,
two
star
football
players
were
convicted
of
raping
a
girl,
and
sentenced
to
prison.
But
amid
the
outrage
in
both
cases,
there
has
been
a
chorus
of
"boys
will
be
boys,"
the
excuse
of
youth,
of
teenage
brains
that
can't
control
themselves
and
the
victim
shaming
that
accompanies
that
perception.
