rape in Contra Costa County Times

An 11 yr old girl was allegedly raped by 10 men; most of the men being local football players.
Reporting the alleged rape, The Contra Costa Times found it necessary to add the description of the victim as "tall and mature looking."
Contra Costa Times also thought of the rape as a "tragic end to athletes' pursuits."

Luckily, a later editorial appearing in The Contra Costa Times decries the paper's blaming of the 11 yr old rape victim.

(Apparently, The Contra Costa Times picked up the story from AP. So, although Contra Coasta Times chose to run the fucked up articles, heavy blame should be placed on the asshole AP writer.)
