Police: Woman Posts Snapchat Video Of Herself Being Raped
MARBLEHEAD, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in Ohio say a woman posted Snapchat video of herself being raped, and a friend who saw it alerted police.
Ottawa County Prosecutor James VanEerten says he believes the video clearly shows a sexual assault taking place.
He says it's unclear whether the young woman live-streamed the attack or posted the video shortly afterward.
