Attorney To Teach Football Players How To Not Get Caught Raping

West Virginia U.S. Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld watched the Steubenville Rape Case, where two football players were convicted thanks to tweets and Instagrams of the incident. So his solution?

"We thought, 'Let's start calling athletic directors and coaches to see if they're interested.' That investment of time hopefully will pay dividends down the road, not only because you hope the kids are going to stay out of trouble. Social media creates so many distractions off the field for coaches. Maybe we can help them avoid that situation as well."

Yes, the program is going to focus on the role social media played in the case. It's a great service for football players:

"We bring the perspective of 'OK, if you do this, this is what can happen. We don't want to see you in court,' " Ihlenfeld said.

Among the football programs who will learn how social media impacts your ability to rape will be "Brooke, Cameron, Hundred, John Marshall, Magnolia, Wheeling Central, Wheeling Park, ...Oak Glen, Paden City and Weir high schools." Invitations will also be sent to other high school and college programs in the 32 counties covered Ihlenfeld's district.
