    Dear CNN, I am from the neighboring town of Weirton WV and I feel this needs to be put out in public. This is all over facebook locally not sure it has hit national level yet. Basically there was an underage girl at a party and she was sexually assaulted repeatedly by several high school football players. In this particular town football is much like it is in Texas, they live it and breathe it 24/7. The police are completely useless and are covering this up as much as they can. There are twitter pictures showing this girl passed out in various positions while they are carrying her around. There are tweets, and videos that these teenagers have uploaded regarding this rape and still yet, no charges have been filed because they are protecting the football players and party-goers who did nothing to stop it... I am begging you please make this national news, there needs to be justice done. I honestly would not be surprised if this has not happened before. The only reason I am even sending you this is because if it were to hit national news (which it truly deserves to) perhaps there would be more pressure on the local authorities to get something done. There has been to my knowledge at least one peaceful protest regarding this organized by the anonymous group which has been very helpful in getting the community involved in getting justice for this girl. Please look into this, for the townspeople and this girl who was attacked. I am uploading videos of the teens that were found via youtube.. Thank you for your time.
