Steubenville High School Rapist, Trent Mays, Released From Juvenile Detention
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- A second former Ohio high school football player convicted of raping a West Virginia girl following an alcohol-fueled party has been released from juvenile detention.
Trent Mays was released Tuesday after serving a two-year sentence. He will be put on probationary status and will have a sex offender classification hearing, defense attorney Adam Neeman told WTOV-TV ( http://bit.ly/1xEioAn ) in Steubenville.
"He is an extremely promising young man, eager to prove himself on behalf of his family and his community," Nemann said in a statement.
Mays, 18, and one of his Steubenville High School teammates, Ma'Lik Richmond, were each found delinquent in the 2012 rape of the 16-year-old girl. Mays was also found delinquent of using his phone to take a photo of the nude victim.
Richmond, 18, received a one-year sentence and rejoined the football team last fall, and in November a judge agreed to less restrictive sex offender reporting requirements. Richmond had been ordered to register his address every six months for the next 20 years. The judge agreed to reclassify him so that he has to register only once a year for the next decade.
