STEUBENVILLE

A judge has set a trial date for a school superintendent charged with trying to thwart investigations into alleged crimes, including the rape of a 16-year-old girl.

Steubenville Superintendent Mike McVey has pleaded not guilty to charges including obstructing justice and tampering with evidence.

Special Judge Patricia Ann Cosgrove set an Oct. 18 trial date for McVey.

McVey is accused of hampering the investigation of the West Virginia girl raped in August 2012 by two Steubenville High School football players.
