After months of widespread media coverage and online outrage and four days of testimony, the high school football players charged with raping a drunk 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio were found "delinquent" (the juvenile court equivalent of guilty) on Sunday morning. 16-year-old Ma'lik Richmond was sentenced to at least one year in jail, while 17-year-old Trent Mays will serve an additional year for taking nude photos of the victim that ended up on Instagram. Both could remain behind bars until they turn 21.
