Kentucky releases attacker in 2015 child stabbing

Kentucky officials say Ronald Exantus, 42, who was convicted of multiple assaults in a 2015 home invasion that killed 6-year-old Logan Tipton and sentenced to 20 years, was released last week under Mandatory Reentry Supervision (KRS 439.3406) after serving about eight years. The Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet clarified the Parole Board repeatedly voted to keep him imprisoned and that release was required by law, while Kentucky State Police are investigating significant threats made against parole board members; the case drew national attention, including a statement from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
