17-year-old Trent Mays and 16-year-old Ma'lik Richmond, both Steubenville High School students, were found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl while she was drunk at a party last year.

Mays and Richmond both cried when the jury read the guilty verdict that carries a minimum of 1-year in a juvenile prison, although the boys could be imprisoned until they are 21-years-old.

The boys must also register as juvenile sex offenders.

The girl who accused the boys of raping her was too drunk to remember what happened that night and had to piece it together on her own. The boys took photos and video, uploading them to YouTube, Instagram and Twitter.

The rape victim also relied on witnesses at the party and text messages from the boys to figure out what happened to her.

"I honestly did not know what to think because I didn't remember anything," the victim testified at the trial.

After the guilty verdict was read Mays and Richmond had a chance to address the court.

Mays was brief saying only, "I would truly like to apologize to [the victim] and her family."

Ma'lik Richmond did not speak but his father did address the court and his son's victim saying, "I'm sorry for what you all had to go through and I hope somewhere in your hearts that you can forgive Trent and Ma'lik for the pain that they caused your daughter and put you through."

Then the victim's mother addressed the boys who raped her daughter.

"It did not matter what school you went to, what city you lived in, or what sport you've played. Human compassion is not taught by a teacher, a coach or a parent. It is a God-given gift instilled in all of us. You displayed not only a lack of this compassion, but a lack of any moral code."

She went on to say, "Your decisions that night affected countless lives, including those most dear to you. You were your own accuser through the social media that you chose to publish your criminal conduct on. This does not define who my daughter is. She will persevere, grow and move on. I have pity for you both. I hope you fear the Lord, repent for your actions, and pray hard for forgiveness."

CNN reporter Poppy Harlow was outside the courthouse reporting on the verdict. She and CNN have taken a lot of criticism for Harlow's report.

In it, Harlow focuses more on the emotions of the two boys than she does on the victim. She expressed sympathy for the boys asking what the "lasting effect" for them will be rather than their victim.

"The most severe thing with these young men is being labeled as registered sex offenders. That label is now placed on them by Ohio law and, by the way, the laws in most other states now require such a designation in the face of such a serious crime. That will haunt them for the rest of their lives."

Poppy Harlow's Twitter page was full of comments by outraged viewers. They could not believe she had more sympathy for the rapists than the rape victim.

Allan Brauer posted, "your reporting was disgusting. You never mentioned the after-effects on the victims only on the rapists. You are a monster."

Joe Brockmeir asks, "Why is CNN sympathizing with the rapists? It doesn't matter if she was drunk only that she didn't consent."

The Twitter page is filled with more angry comments, but Poppy Harlow has not acknowledged the posts yet.
