Melina Romero’s was raped and killed in 2014. This case gave rise to many journalistic reports describing her habits, her social, familiar and school situation, and specially focusing on her look. In this article we approach the discursive production of high schools students from Córdoba, Argentina, in particular comments about Melina Romero’s photograp. The analysis is centering on meanings of certain female aesthetic, and how they connect with some conceptions on sexual violence. The paper is based on data produced during fieldwork carried out in two different schools in Córdoba, Argentina. We did observations, interviews with teachers, principals, tutors and focus group with student of different courses. The results suggest that Melina is held responsible for what happened to her and rape is concibed as a violence disciplining.
