Ohio Attorney General Could Go After Steubenville High's Football Coach

Despite Sunday's guilty verdict for two Steubenville (Ohio) High School football players in a high-profile rape trial, the case appears to be far from closed. On Monday, state attorney general Mike DeWine said he would consider filing charges against anyone who failed to speak up after the brutal attack of a drunken 16-year-old West Virginia girl during a party last summer - including Steubenville's head football coach Reno Saccoccia.

According to CBSSports.com, Saccoccia and the owners of the house where the party took place - and where an infamous 12-minute video that went viral was recorded - could be investigated. (In fact, social media played a dominant role in this case, with text messages, photos and video from the party and its aftermath hitting the Internet. As the victim's mother told the accused, 17-year old Trenton Mays and 16-year-old Ma'lik Richmond, on Sunday: "You were your own accuser, through the social media that you chose to publish your criminal conduct on." Both boys were judged "delinquent" of rape - the juvenile version of being convicted.)
