A New Hampshire prep school says it has settled a lawsuit filed by the parents of a student who was sexually assaulted in 2014 during a game of sexual conquest.
Chessy Prout was a 15-year-old freshman when she accused Owen Labrie of sexually assaulting her. Her parents sued in 2016, arguing St. Paul's School in Concord should've done more to protect her. A message was left for their attorney Friday.
The school denied it could've prevented the assault. In a letter, its board of trustees president called the settlement a "welcomed outcome."
Labrie is appealing convictions of misdemeanor sexual assault, child endangerment and using a computer to lure the girl for sex.
The AP typically doesn't identify victims of sexual assault unless they come forward publicly, as Prout has done.
