Authorities learned of threats made against the Steubenville victim on Sunday afternoon, just hours after high school football players Trent Mays and Ma'Lik Richmond were found guilty of raping her during a night of partying.
The two girls, ages 15 and 16, made the threats toward the 16-year-old victim on Facebook and Twitter. Although they were discovered Sunday afternoon, it is unclear when they were posted. WRTF TV reported that one of the girls turned herself in to authorities while the other was arrested.
