In 2007, he was convicted of misdemeanor sexual battery in the case, receiving two years probation. Authorities said he was allowed to move back to South Carolina to serve his probation.
On November 10, 2010, Meggett was sentenced to 30 years in prison for burglary and criminal sexual conduct. Meggett's current release date is slated for July 2034.
