Steubenville rapist is back on the football team

76. I agree with you

I personally think the judge made the mistake of giving him the sentence he did and that it should have been 2 years for both at a minimum.

That being said, he has been released and has rejoined society. I hope counseling was required by the court for him as well as no drinking as a condition of his release as long as he is supervised (I have no idea whether he is being supervised on probation or not and for how long). Sex offender registration will severely limit what he can do for the 20 years he is required to register (employment, housing, and probably college as well). Most states have lifetime registration, his maybe less because he was a minor.

I do think the high school could have made the choice not to allow him to play football given the trouble he has been in.

Unless he makes another mistake, he has to be allowed to life his life now that the justice system has acted.

I believe in both, but I think it will be a very long hard road.
