In North Carolina, a bombshell CNN report reveals that Radical Deborah Ross sought leniency for a vicious sexual predator because she considered the rape to be "unsuccessful."

Will the campaign arm for Senate Democrats continue to support Deborah Ross? If so, can the DSCC and the rest of their candidates explain to the American people what a "successful" rape is?

Read the chilling details from CNN:

On the campaign trail, North Carolina Senate candidate Deborah Ross says she stands shoulder-to-shoulder with women victimized by sexual assault.

But in the mid-1990s, Ross found herself in a different position, urging the North Carolina courts to impose a lenient sentence on a 13-year-old who sexually assaulted his 23-year-old neighbor — with the victim’s 20-month-old son watching in the same room. The state Supreme Court rejected Ross’ push, sentencing Andre Green to life in prison for what it said was a "heinous" crime.

According to court documents and the police report reviewed by CNN, Green broke a glass door to enter his neighbor’s home in the middle of a rainy night in 1994, after stalking her for six weeks. She immediately called 911, but Green – who was large for his age, standing at roughly 5-foot-10, 180 pounds — ripped the phone out of the socket. He swung at her with a broomstick, which broke apart after it hit a golf club she was using to defend herself.

Green punched the woman upwards of 15 times, tore off her clothes and used his fingers to penetrate her, while performing oral sex on her. The victim accused Green of penetrating her "once or twice" with his penis, according to court documents. He only stopped when the police arrived, running out the front door of the house — despite threatening to "rip her insides out," the records say. She was badly injured and bruised, while her son who witnessed the attack, she said, was emotionally scarred.

In her amicus brief to the state Supreme Court, Ross contended that Green came from a broken home, had no criminal past and had a very low IQ — and would benefit from years of rehabilitation through the juvenile system. The brief argued that Green "unsuccessfully" attempted to rape the victim.

"Andre, a borderline retarded child of thirteen with no previous criminal history, broke and entered into the victim’s home and upon being discovered by the female victim, attempted, unsuccessfully, to rape her," Ross’ brief said. "When confronted by police, Andre confessed the crime."

In Ohio, exclusive video obtained by the Need to Know Network shows Retread Ted Strickland explaining his belief that Ohio taxpayers have been "raped by charter schools."

The DSCC has already made its position on Ted Strickland abundantly clear by abandoning him. However, Ohioans deserve to know: will the DSCC condemn in the strongest terms Strickland’s offensive and hurtful remarks?
