Sexual assault of Savannah Dietrich

Savannah Dietrich is an American high-school student, who was sexually assaulted by several football players at a party. The assault was photographed by participants and observers, and images and comments from the incident went viral on the internet. Controversy regarding the case developed when Dietrich released the names of her attackers, violating a gag order, after they had received a sentence described as lenient. Dietrich was sued by some of the boys for defamation. After the controversy, the original sentence against the boys was strengthened.
