Showing Original Post only (View all)Four more charged in Steubenville rape case! [View all]
http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/25/justice/ohio-steubenville-rape-case/index.html?sr=fb112513bnrapecase11
A grand jury investigating the 2012 rape of a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio, has indicted four more people in the case, including the school superintendent, two other educators and an assistant football coach, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said Monday.
This brings to six the number of people the grand jury has indicted after two students were convicted in March of rape, DeWine said.
Superintendent Michael McVey was the only one of the four to be charged Monday with felonies: a count of tampering with evidence and two counts of obstructing justice. He also is charged with two misdemeanors: making a false statement and obstructing official business.
A school teacher and an elementary school principal were charged with failure to report child abuse or neglect. A volunteer assistant Steubenville football coach, Matt Belardine, was charged with four misdemeanors: allowing underage drinking; obstructing official business; making a false statement; and contributing to the unruliness or delinquency of a child.

The Post-Gazette is reporting that the grand jury is done, and no other charges will be filed.

That's kind of sad, because a lot more than 4 people had a role in the cover-up...
