Anonymous Solves a Rape Case - 968 Words

Anonymous can seem like a strange or unsettling concept to some who may fear that someone or something mysterious exists behind a screen that has the power to destroy anyone or anything in a matter of minutes. In this particular case, anonymous shows their true power and potential by solving a two year cold rape case in under two hours. This Canadian rape case involved a young girl, Rehtaeh Parsons, who attended a party where alcohol was present and was gang raped by four of her male classmates. These four males took pictures of the gang sexual assault and then proceeded to share and send these photos to everyone in the school. Two years passed by that Parsons was brutally bullied and assaulted every day. Parsons eventually attempted suicide by hanging herself, and died a few days after when she was taken off life support. The Parsons family attempts at getting justice for their daughter against the four classmates failed when the police did not think enough evidence existed to charge anyone of the crime. The case was given up on due to lack of evidence and no relief or justice was served from the police. Anonymous was allegedly able to confirm the identities of the rapists in just two hours. People close to the perpetrators contacted Anonymous and flooded anonymous accounts with stories and testimonies. Anonymous said they would restrain from making the names public in hopes of forcing official investigators to re-open the case and review the evidence again.Show MoreRelatedA Perfect Example Of Civic Hacking1001 Words   |  5 PagesBigApps, sponsored by the New York City Economic Development Commission, is designed to foster civic hackers’ ideas to solve specific problems each year (â€Å"BigApps NYC 2015†).
