An Ohio school superintendent, two coaches and a principal were charged by a grand jury that investigated whether other laws were broken in the rape of a drunken 16-year-old girl by two football players, the state's attorney general said Monday.
The special grand jury convened in Steubenville had investigated whether adults like coaches or school administrators knew of the rape allegation but failed to report it as required by state law.

High school and college athletes have been getting a pass on this kind of thing for generations and the administrations have run cover for them all along. The only thing new here is that only this time it made the news and the law has become reluctantly involved. If they can they will sweep it under a rug.
Was there any forensic evidence there was a rape in this case? The girl didn’t know she had been raped till she read about it and a video was posted on the web?

Two Steubenville, Ohio, high school football players accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl have been found delinquent by a judge — the juvenile court equivalent of guilty.
Trent Mays, 17, and Ma’lik Richmond, 16, were both sentenced to at least one year in juvenile jail and could be held until they are 21 years old. Mays was sentenced to an additional year for a charge related to distributing nude images of a minor.
Let us not forget that Steubenville is the birth place
of Dean Martin.
As my friend little Jim Mclean of Steubenville always
used to remind me when we were in Vietnam.
these little animals can't just get away from "it" anymore.....
I’m familiar with this and those involved from an educational standpoint, and I’ll let you read between the lines for that. The cell phones weren’t necessarily a breakthrough as much as the school system’s server was. That was the mother load.
Any guesses why they didn’t nab Coach Reno? Couldn’t get enough on him, or did they decide to save Reno and sacrifice the superintendent?
The AG made a point to say that being stupid and/or despicable are not crimes. However, my guess is that if more evidence is revealed during these trials then he will call back the grand jury. Right now it’s hurry up and wait.
I read that comment. But Coach Reno is also a mandatory reporter, and I can’t imagine that he didn’t know what was going on.
I agree with you; however, Reno doesn’t have a cell phone and doesn’t use computers. Unless his land-line phone was tapped before the incident there is no evidence. We’re down to finger pointing.
Ah, yes! No digital fingerprints, and no one would roll over on him. Not yet, anyway. Bet it all frightened the dickens out of him, though!
