WTOV-TV in Steubenville reports that Ma'Lik Richmond has been released. His attorney, Walter Madison, says in a statement that the youth is a "better, stronger person," and requests privacy.
He is required to register as a sex offender for the next 20 years, though he can request to have the classification removed later based on rehabilitation history, and his name won't be included on publicly accessible websites.
Doesn't seem enough, to me. But, I'm glad that he at least did some time after Anonymous swept the case out from under the cover-up rug and into the public spotlight.
