HADLEY, Mass. (WWLP) - Austin Renaud says he's grateful to Phoebe Prince's family for asking prosecutors to drop the statutory rape charge against him.

Renaud expressed condolences to the Prince family Thursday, calling the case "A very difficult and emotional experience for all involved."

Prosecutors dropped the statutory rape charge last week, citing what they called "the interests of justice."

Renaud said he will resume his high school education and hopes the public and media will respect his desire for privacy.
