PLAYER CONVICTED OF RAPE WILL SIT OUT SEASON

A man convicted of rape as a teen in a case that drew international attention will be part of the Youngstown State football team this year but won’t be allowed to play in any games, the school said Wednesday in responding to criticism surrounding his participation. Ma’Lik Richmond served about 10 months in a juvenile lockup after being convicted with another Steubenville High football player of raping a 16year-old girl during an alcoholfueled party in 2012.
