Chelsea Manning Shares First Photos After Prison Release

Chelsea Manning has been posing photos over the past few days after her release from prison, and she just debuted her first photo.

“I appreciate the wonderful support that I have received from so many people across the world over these past years. As I rebuild my life, I remind myself not to relive the past. The past will always affect me and I will keep that in mind while remembering that how it played out is only my starting point, not my final destination,” Chelsea, a transgender U.S. Army soldier, told ABC News in a statement.

Chelsea was sentenced under the Espionage and Computer Fraud and Abuse Acts and was supposed to spend 35 years in jail for releasing 750,000 documents to WikiLeaks. Three days before leaving office, President Barack Obama commuted her sentence.
