White House Investigates Kentucky Parole Board's Early Release of Child Killer

The White House is investigating the early release of Ronald Exantus, who was convicted and sentenced to 20 years for the brutal 2015 stabbing death of six-year-old Logan Tipton and attacks on his family in Versailles, Kentucky. Exantus was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity but guilty on assault charges, and despite his sentence, he was released after serving less than eight years due to good behavior and education credits. The Tipton family has expressed fear and trauma over the early release, with Logan's father stating he must now be on extra guard to protect his remaining children. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned the parole board's decision as "wholly unacceptable," emphasizing the severity of allowing a child killer to be freed so soon. The case has drawn federal attention, although Exantus was not federally charged, leaving unclear what further actions the White House might take. The Tipton family remains determined to stay united despite the ordeal, highlighting the lasting impact of the crime and the parole decision.
