A Kentucky girl who was sexually assaulted now faces jail time for talking about it publicly.
Savannah Dietrich, 17, could be locked up on contempt-of-court charges for tweeting the names of her attackers after they allegedly got a sweetheart plea bargain, according to a published report.
Dietrich, who was molested while passed out at a party by the sick creeps, told the Louisville Courier-Journal newspaper that she was outraged because the boys were given a deal that she thinks is very, very light.
The judge in the case had further protected the sex fiends by placing a gag order that barred Dietrich from talking about what happened to her.

I'm sure there's a lot more to this story, but based on this alone, how can a judge do that? If she fabricated something, then they have the right to sue for defamation, right? But a pre-emptive order? I don't get it.
Thoughts?
