Because if he doesn’t learn, he will do it to another young woman. And that’s all I can ever hope for in any sort of process like this. The victim, who publicly identified herself as Chessy Prout in a Today show interview on August 30, waited almost one week before telling friends, family, and police about the assault. “I hope he learns,” Prout said of Labrie. Paul’s told TODAY in a statement that they “categorically deny that there ever existed at the school a culture or tradition of sexual assault,” but admitted that Prout’s ordeal helped bring about positive change on campus. “Unfortunately, it seems like the school’s reputation became more important than supporting our daughter.” We loved the school,” said Susan Prout, whose husband, Alex, is a St.

“If ever there would’ve been a family to work with, it would’ve been our family. Paul’s, in turn, filed a motion to block the Prout family from using pseudonyms in court, with its lawyers claiming they were using the media to attack the school’s reputation “from behind a cloak of anonymity.” Prout’s parents have sued the Concord, New Hampshire school in federal court for failing to protect their daughter. “And the fact that he was still able to pull the wool over a group of people’s eyes bothered me a lot and just disgusted me in some way.” “They said that they didn’t believe that he did it knowingly, and that frustrated me a lot because he definitely did do it knowingly,” Prout said. While he was acquitted of felony sexual assault charges, a judge convicted Labrie on three counts of misdemeanor sexual assault, felony illegal use of computer services, and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child. He is appealing the verdict.
