And as one legal wag once put it "you can indict a ham sandwich". He wasn't convicted, and the grand jury refused to indict initially, fwiw. Arguments have been made that it was racial bias for the defendant (if you read the case) that prevented the GJ from indicting him initially. I'm not sure how true that is. But it's an allegation. Regardless, the kid was not convicted of rape. He is not a convicted felon, he is a misdemeanant. He was convicted of misdemeanor assault, when he pled out to same. No court has adjudicated him a rapist.
