Prosecutors May Get Conviction In Steubenville Rape Trial, But It Will Come at A Cost, In the early morning hours of August 12, 2012, Evan Westlake served as designated driver for three of his Steubenville High football teammates and one 16-year-old West Virginia girl he believed to be highly intoxicated.
He thought he’d done well by getting them all safely to the home of Mark Cole, one of his Big Red teammates. As Westlake was heading out, he walked into the living area of the basement and witnessed what should’ve been considered a rather troubling scene.
The girl was completely nkd on the floor, laying motionless on her side, not far from where she’d just puked out of the side of her mouth.
By her side was one of his teammates, Trent Mays, who Westlake testified was fully exposed and smacking his pns on the girl’s hip. Laying behind her was another player, Ma’lik Richmond, whom Westlake testified he saw penetrating the girl with two fingers, “halfway to the knuckle.”
“It wasn’t what I expected to see,” Westlake testified Friday at the Jefferson County Justice Center here in this old Eastern Ohio mill town, where Mays and Richmond stand trial for rape. “I wasn’t really sure what to think.”
