Heart warming story. I'm glad he's turned his life around.
That said, he never received any justice with regards to his crime which. He got off scot-free. He's got Jesus' forgiveness but the woman he rapes still suffers the consequences.
On the one hand I feel that if he'd gone to jail for his crime at the age of 15 it'd have hardened him for life and he'd probably gone on to be an even bigger badass. On the other it seems unjust that he walks round believing he's on god's good books now with no consequences for his actions.
It's part of a far bigger picture in Africa though, there needs to be a real change in how they raise some of their young men and the the way they view women.
