I hope you realize that the diagnosis of psychopathy (a.k.a. antisocial personality disorder) is not made in persons under 18 years of age. It is
normal for adolescents to exhibit some traits that would be considered evidence of psychopathy in an adult. And yes, the young man in question is 18 now, but the Maturity Fairy doesn't just drop a magic bomb on you on your 18th birthday; young men usually are not fully neurologically mature until their mid-twenties.
At present, what we probably have here is a rotten kid who may or may not grow up to be a rotten adult. The question is still open. Throwing around words like ‘psychopath’ does not help to answer it.
