COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – A judge is deciding whether a man convicted as a juvenile of raping a 16-year-old girl should be removed from Ohio’s sex offender listings.

Judge Thomas Lipps has scheduled a hearing Thursday in juvenile court in Steubenville in the case of former high school football player Ma’Lik Richmond.

Richmond was convicted in 2013 of raping the West Virginia girl during a drunken party following a football scrimmage the previous year.

Lipps ordered Richmond as a sex offender to register his address every six months for the next 20 years, then decreased that to once a year for a decade in 2014.

On “the registry” or off, it has no bearing on public safety.

I find myself checking this website multiple times a day looking and hoping for some kind of good news. Needless to say it is a rare to see anything positive. I want my life back…. I would even be happy to leave the country. I look in the mirror every day and see how I have aged over the last 5 years. This is killing me

It cost that Oregon State pitcher to not be drafted in the MLBs because he was on the registry. He was projected to be a first or second round draft pick.
