DEFENDANTS FALSELY ACCUSE PLAINITFF ON THE INTERNET OF RAPE<br />

14. Start<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> August 2012, DEFENDANT, ALEXANDRIA GODDARD aka<br />

"pr<strong>in</strong>nie" created multiple web pages concern<strong>in</strong>g an alleged rape of a m<strong>in</strong>or child that occurred<br />

<strong>in</strong> Steubenville, Ohio, to wit:<br />

• "Big Red Players Accused of Rape & Kidnapp<strong>in</strong>g"<br />

• "Dear Mrs. Richmond"<br />

• "It's time to be a true parent"<br />

• "Message Board"<br />

• "Some people deserve to be peed on #whoareyou"<br />

comments or accusations to the two juveniles who have been crim<strong>in</strong>ally charged (who are not<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestigation, <strong>and</strong> found, among other th<strong>in</strong>gs, that PLAINTIFF, CODY SALTSMAN had<br />

committed rape. Below is one example of a statement that DEFENDANT, ALEXANDRIA<br />
