Our Guys is a 1997 nonfiction book by journalist Bernard Lefkowitz about the Glen Ridge rape case in New Jersey. It was adapted into a 1999 television film. In 1989, popular high school athletes in the wealthy suburb of Glen Ridge sexually assaulted a mentally disabled young woman while teammates watched. Drawing on six years of research and over two hundred interviews, Lefkowitz examines the culture that protected the athletes and the town's response.
