A grand jury investigating the 2012 rape of a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville , Ohio , and educators ' responses to a separate rape allegation in the city that year has led to the indictment of four school employees , including the school superintendent , who faces felony charges , Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced Monday . Steubenville City Schools Superintendent Michael McVey faces three felony counts : one charge of tampering with evidence and two counts of obstructing justice . He also is charged with making a false statement and obstructing official business , both misdemeanors , DeWine said . Also indicted were an elementary school principal , Lynnett Gorman , and wrestling coach Seth Fluharty , both of whom are charged with misdemeanor failure to report child abuse . 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 . This brings to six the number of people the grand jury has indicted after two students were convicted of rape , DeWine said . A school technology director and his daughter were indicted in October . Most of the charges relate to the August 2012 rape of a girl at a party in the small eastern Ohio community -- a case that got national attention after photos and videos of the incident made their way onto social media . In March , Steubenville High School football players Ma'lik Richmond and Trenton Mays were convicted of the rape . Richmond was sentenced to a minimum of one year in a juvenile correctional facility . Mays got two years . But some of the charges announced Monday relate not to the August 2012 rape , but to a separate alleged rape in April 2012 in the Steubenville area , DeWine said . Gorman was charged with not reporting the alleged April 2012 incident , said her attorney , Steven Lemetris . That case `` was not prosecuted because there was no crime . If there was a crime there would be a victim , '' Lemetris said . Lemetris said Monday night the principal has been an educator for 30 years with a spotless record . He said Gorman is not guilty , but she now risks losing her teaching administrative credentials . `` She is a good person '' Lemetris said . DeWine 's office confirmed that it investigated the April 2012 case and declined to prosecute . New arrest , jail without bond . All of McVey 's charges cover a time period from April 2012 -- the time of the first alleged rape -- through this month , when the grand jury finished its investigation of the two cases . `` When I announced that we were going to have this grand jury investigation to answer all the questions and to see if adults had not done what they should have done , I did say in answer to a question that we would look at this previously reported ( April 2012 ) incident , '' DeWine told CNN Tuesday morning . `` I stated right at the beginning ... ( that ) frankly the grand jury would go wherever the facts took it . '' After Richmond and Mays were convicted tin the August 2012 rape , the grand jury began investigating whether others should be charged . In October , it indicted William Rhinaman , 53 , the director of technology for Steubenville City Schools , on charges of tampering with evidence , obstruction of justice , obstructing official business and perjury . His daughter , Hannah Rhinaman , 20 , of Mingo Junction , Ohio , was also indicted that month on two counts of receiving stolen property and one count of grand theft , according to a news release from DeWine 's office . The charges against Hannah Rhinaman are separate and unrelated to the indictment against her father , the October news release said . If convicted , William Rhinaman could be sentenced to four years in prison , which is longer than the two teens convicted of rape will serve .
