Anonymous Targets Rape Case in Missouri
Charges have been dropped by officials
The Anonymous hacktivist collective has launched "#OpMaryville" to highlight the case of two girls, ages 13 and 14, who were both allegedly raped last year in Maryville, Mo. But despite a plethora of evidence, including iPhone footage of one of the alleged assaults and confessions from three suspects in the case, the charges against the 14-year-old girl's alleged attacker were dropped.
The Kansas City Star reported that the 17-year-old who confessed to having sex with the 14-year-old girl is the grandson of a Missouri state representative who previously worked as a Missouri State Highway Patrol officer for 32 years.

This is a tendentious write-up. Start asking hard question FFS.
A lot of people wouldn't respond to the journalist. I think he did a great job with what was provided.
