Steubenville rape cover-up charges dropped against school superintendent
Ohio prosecutors have dismissed all charges against a school district superintendent accused of covering up the rape of a 16-year-old girl by members of the high school football team, in exchange for his resignation from the district, his attorney said on Monday.
Steubenville superintendent Michael McVey had been due to go on trial on Monday, accused of tampering evidence and obstructing justice when the prosecutor dismissed the charges.
“We can still seek employment from other schools or other school systems, or anything like that,” said McVey’s attorney Charles Bean. “I don’t know what Mike plans to do. This was something that was obviously great for us, I mean whenever you have the prosecution go in and dismiss the entire case that’s fine.”
McVey accused of wiping hard drives, erasing emails and lying to investigators to cover up a rape perpetrated and shared online by members of the town’s beloved football team, the Big Red.
