STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Jury selection is expected to
begin in the case of an eastern Ohio elementary school official charged
following an investigation into the rape of a 16-year-old girl in 2012.
Steubenville
(STOO’-behn-vihl) elementary school principal Lynnett Gorman faces one
count of failure to report child abuse or neglect in the trial beginning
Wednesday.
The Steubenville Herald-Star (http://bit.ly/KB3A0C ) reports the trial was delayed
a day because of extremely cold temperatures.
Gorman’s
attorney has said his client is accused of failing to report possible
child abuse, apparently involving a teen sex and drinking party in April
2012 unrelated to the rape of the 16-year-old West Virginia girl.
Attorney
Dennis McNamara says Gorman learned about the party second- or
third-hand while checking to see if her son had been involved.
