STEUBENVILLE, Ohio – The two teenage girls accused of threatening the Steubenville rape victim via social networking sites are now on house arrest.
Both girls were released from juvenile detention yesterday after denying the charges against them.
The 15 and 16-year-olds may not contact with the rape victim nor use social media and will remain on house arrest at least until their pre-trial hearing is held.
Meantime, Jefferson County prosecutors have asked Twitter to provide information about the suspects’ accounts, including posts.
