A "Kyle Reddish is Innocent" Facebook page has been created to defend the student charged with rape.

The junior was arrested Wednesday for five charges related to allegedly forcing a 14-year-old girl to perform sexual acts with him.

As of 10:30 a.m., Sunday, the Facebook group had 46 "likes." The info for the page says "Help our friend Kyle."

The only post on the page so far is from an administrator who wrote "Like this page to help our dear friend kyle out."

Many people have also taken to Reddish's Facebook profile at http://www.facebook.com/kyle.iz.god to show him support.

Check Patch on Monday for statements from Reddish's lawyer.
