Savannah says she was sexually assaulted by two teen boys she knew in August 2011 after drinking at a gathering and becoming unconscious. Months later she learned that pictures of the incident had been taken and shared with others.
"For months, I cried myself to sleep. I couldn't go out in public places," she told the newspaper, as her father, Michael, and attorneys sat nearby. "You just sit there and wonder, who saw (the pictures), who knows?"
The original court order had forbidden all parties in the case to discuss it, writes Courier-Journal reporter Jason Riley.
Savannah, however, tweeted the boys' names and criticized the justice system in frustration over what she viewed as a lenient plea bargain for the two teens who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting her and circulating pictures of the incident.

That is why what she did was wrong. I feel for her and her family but if there is a court order stating that it is forbidden to discuss then it's forbidden to discuss.

Why did the judge put gag order ? It was not necessary.. These buys are sexual predators, they hold get sexual offender status and be published like everybody else.
The judge needs investigation .. Judges are human beings ,they get swayed by money,power,influence ,bonds etc... So this was unfair on victim. She suffered and till suffers. Nobody can feel what she is feeling now, so if she thought she was cheated by the system, justice failed. Period.
Court orders are not optional and she disobeyed one.
If the judge was wrong to impose it then that is a different matter and should be handled differently. Nobody gets a pass just because it suits them.
