Deric Lostutter, 29, of Winchester, Kentucky, pleaded not guilty this week after being indicted in July on four felony counts, including a count of lying to the FBI.
Lostutter is the Anonymous member who exposed the infamous Steubenville High School rape case, when members of the local high school football team publicly and repeatedly sexually assaulted an underage girl, recording the events and later posting some of the images and videos online.
Going by the name of KYAnonymous, and together with a co-conspirator, Noah McHugh, a.k.a. JustBatCat, of Alexandria, Virginia, Lostutter hacked into the website of Steubenville High School, searching for the identities of the high schoolers he saw in the online videos.
Lostutter and McHugh formed KnightSec
The two, hacking under the name of KnightSec, found videos stored on the some parts of the high school's website, recorded by students on the night of the event.
A crime is a crime but in my opinion the two men found guilty of the rape surely deserve more time than the hackers who exposed the two rapists.
A very prevalent problem persists within local governments,local law enforcement and most definitely school administrations,particularly when it is student athletes.
Schools would rather cover it up than tarnish their schools reputation with no regard for the victim.
Local governments and law enforcement in small jurisdictions are more prone to cover ups since most everyone knows everybody and they are hailed as heroes.
They are swayed by local politicians,school officials and their neighbors.
Since Winchester,Kentucky is a town of about 18,000 people local law enforcement are not experienced to handle major crimes and are most often prone to mistakes.
They almost always call in State and or Federal authorities unless they want to hide something.
