Steubenville Rapist Released After Less Than a Year in Juvenile Prison 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A former high school football player who raped a 16-year-old girl in
Steubenville, Ohio, has been released from juvenile prison less than a
year after his conviction. Ma'lik Richmond received a year-long sentence
last March. A second teenager convicted in the case, Trent Mays, is
serving a two-year sentence. The case drew national attention following
the emergence of images and social media postings from the night of the
attack.
