Torrington Rape Case Similar to Steubenville? High School Football Players Joan Toribio and Edgar Gonzalez Accused of Sexual Assault, Victims Harrassed by Cyber Bullies

The Steubenville rape case involving star football players who took advantage of an extremely intoxicated girl and were convicted of sexually assaulting her shocked the nation, especially when it was revealed how much protection the players had in their football-mad town. A similar story is coming out of Torrington, Connecticut, where two 18-year-old football players, Edgar Gonzalez and Joan Toribio, are accused of second-degree sexual assault against two 13-year-old girls.
