Yeah, after serving barely 10% of his sentence, he may be transferred to a no-security setting. So fellas, you can go ahead and drug and rape a girl, and if you are so unlucky as to actually be convicted, no worries. You can do this kind of time standing on your head. Sounds about right in America.

A Steubenville High School football player convicted of raping a West Virginia teenager last summer will be classified as a sex offender at a hearing today that could also decide if he will be transferred to another facility for treatment.

The court has said it intends to approve, for both teens, a transfer from a state juvenile detention center to Lifehouse Youth Center at Paint Creek, a facility in Bainbridge, Ohio, which Judge Lipps suggested at their dispositional hearing.

Before the move, Trent must be classified into one of three sex-offender categories. The court could decide he must register every three months for life; or it could place him in two other levels, in which he registers every six months for 20 years; or, the least severe category, every year for a decade.

The private residential rehabilitation center for boys near Chillicothe has no bars, high fences or locked doors, and a 24-hour staff calls teenagers "clients" not "inmates," said Renee Hagan, the center's juvenile justice director.

"We don't have this correctional-mentality relationship with kids," she said.
