MSNBC is reporting that four school district employees have been indicted by a grand jury for their actions surrounding the Steubenville rape case.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine decried the actions of students and staff, alike, during apress conference to discusses new developments in the special grand jury investigation stating, “this began as the rape of a 16-year-old girl, a horrible crime of violence. But it also represents blurred, stretched and distorted the boundaries of right and wrong,”
The grand jury has returned charges against the superintendent, an elementary school principal and two coaches.
Superintendent Michael McVey, 50, was charged with tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice in the aftermath of the incident at the center of the case: the sexual assault of a drunken 16-year-old girl by two high school football players after a booze-fueled party in August 2012.
An assistant coach, Matthew Belardine, 26, was charged with allowing underage drinking, obstructing official business and making a false statement.
Two school employees, strength coach Seth Fluharty, 26, and elementary-school principal Lynnett Gorman, 40, were charged with failure to report child abuse.
