OHIO AG: SEARCH WARRANTS EXECUTED IN RAPE CASE

By ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS — Apr. 25 6:20 PM EDT

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police officers and investigators on Thursday were searching the high school attended by two football players who raped a 16-year-old girl after an alcohol-fueled party last summer, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said.

Search warrants were also executed at Vestige Ltd., a digital evidence company in northeastern Ohio, in addition to Steubenville High School and the offices of the Steubenville school board in eastern Ohio, DeWine said. The search warrants are part of an attempt to learn whether other laws were broken in connection with the rape.

"What I hope people will believe when we're done is that we did everything we could to find the truth and that justice was done," DeWine said in an interview. "What you're seeing today is just part of that effort."

Police officers and investigators began serving the warrants at about 2 p.m., were still on site a couple of hours later and could work into the night, DeWine said. There was no immediate word on what the searches turned up.

Although I'm sure most of the incriminating evidence has been scrubbed by this point. Heck, the coach just got his contract renewed, so things are fine in his world.

From their website (http://www.vestigeltd.com) you could surmise they either helped hide info or were part of the investigative effort (though I can't imagine why they would need a search warrant for someone working to uncover facts).

It'll be interesting to learn how this plays out.
