FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
UPDATE: The AP reports an attorney for one of Dietrich’s attackers has withdrawn the request that she be held in contempt of court.
A Kentucky teenager could land in jail for tweeting the names of two boys who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting her and sharing photos of the attack online.
Seventeen-year-old Savannah Dietrich passed out after drinking at a party before being assaulted in August 2011, she told the Louisville Courier-Journal in a lengthy interview this weekend. After learning later on that her two attackers had passed photos of the incident around on the Internet, she told the Courier-Journal that, “For months, I cried myself to sleep. I couldn’t go out in public places. You just sit there and wonder, who saw (the pictures), who knows?”
Late last month, the two teenage boys pleaded guilty to charges of felony sexual abuse and misdemeanor voyeurism. They are due for sentencing in August. Dietrich and her attorneys said they could not discuss the details of the recommended sentence but Dietrich told the paper, “I felt like they were given a very, very light deal. I wasn’t happy with it, at all.”
So, frustrated and upset, she took to Twitter to express herself and try to exact some measure of justice on her own. She identified the two attackers by name then, according the the newspaper, tweeted: “There you go, lock me up. I’m not protecting anyone that made my life a living Hell.”
Attorneys for the boys have now requested a judge to hold Dietrich in contempt of court for violating the confidentiality of a juvenile hearing and a court order not to discuss the case.
A contempt of court charge carries a possible sentence of 180 days in jail and a $500 fine.
“So many of my rights have been taken away by these boys,” Dietrich told the Courier-Journal. “I’m at the point that if I have to go to jail for my rights, I will do it. If they really feel it’s necessary to throw me in jail for talking about what happened to me as opposed to throwing these boys in jail for what they did to me, then I don’t understand justice.”
A July 30 hearing will decide whether media will be allowed at Dietrich’s contempt hearing.
