“Phoenix Man Streamed Alleged Rape Video Online”

TRIGGER WARNING
I came across this troubling article on ABC News, about a man named Jonathan Hock whose girlfriend of 2 weeks passed out at his home after a night of heavy drinking. He then allegedly used a webcam to live-stream a video of himself having sex with her unconscious body.
His girlfriend learned of this after receiving numerous text messages from people who had supposedly seen this video.
The incident itself is disgusting, terrifying, and vile, but equally disturbing is the fact that the owner of the site where the video was posted (Stickydrama.com) says that he would not have a problem with later reposting the images from the assault (he has taken them down for now because of the investigation).
The owner of the site, 30-year-old Chris Stone, has this to say: “On my site we repost other people’s screen recordings about controversial things that happen on sites like Stickam.com and then we blog and post about it.”
As if it wasn’t offensive enough to refer to posting the video of an alleged rape as “controversial”, he goes on to engage in a little victim blaming.
“I follow the letter of the law and I think it’s a good thing over time for teenagers, in particular, to see what’s happening and what the consequences are of meeting people and getting drunk with them off the Internet” (the victim supposedly met Jonathan Hock through MySpace)
Chris Stone says that he has not yet decided whether to post the full-length video on Stickydrama.com, but says that many of the site users have asked him to.
I’m absolutely sickened.
