Teens Arrested for Group Sex Video

(Springfield, Ohio) The Springfield News-Sun reports:

Four girls and one boy were arrested on Tuesday after deputies said the teens made a video of themselves having group sex.

The youths, ranging from sixth grade to 12th grade, reportedly were caught after one girl showed the sexually explicit video to two 12-year-old boys. Two of the girls charged are sisters.

"This is just beyond belief. And they're very cavalier about it and are acting like everybody's doing it," Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly said.

The video included a 12-year-old sixth-grade girl from Reid Middle School, two 15-year-old sophomore girls and one 17-year-old senior girl from Shawnee High School, and a 16-year-old sophomore boy from North High School.

The kids were not seen to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs and, astonishingly, they exhibited no sense of shame or embarrassment. How can such amorality be explained? In my mind, the media, the entertainment industry, and the Internet share responsibility and I can't honestly exclude Bill Clinton for being a catalyst.

There is also a fad in schools in which the youths participated whereby colored jelly bracelets are worn to indicate their sexual experiences. According to Lt. Russell Garman of the Clark County Sheriff's Department,

Different colored bracelets represent certain sex acts, Garman said. Black bracelets indicate the wearer is willing to have intercourse. Blue stands for oral sex, green stands for touching private parts and pink stands for kissing.

Someone can walk up to a person wearing a bracelet and break the band. The person wearing the bracelet then is obligated to perform the act represented by the color of the bracelet, Garman said.

The five youths were held overnight in juvenile detention. They are scheduled to appear in Juvenile Court at 1pm today.
