![]() That accountability also included a civil suit against St. That settlement stemmed from Chessy Prout’s quest for accountability for that senior, Owen Labrie, who was found guilty in 2015 of misdemeanor sexual assault. Paul’s became one of the only schools in the country to enter into a settlement agreement with law enforcement in order to avoid potential criminal charges over what New Hampshire authorities called rampant "child endangerment," a blemish on the reputation of an institution that counts John Kerry, Robert Mueller, and Sen. "You've chosen the path that you wanted to take to make money off of survivors of sexual assault and defend these institutions." Delaney, you do not deserve to be in this position," Alex Prout said. Sitting alongside his wife, Susan, Alex Prout says that Delaney-having pushed successfully to unmask the identity of his daughter in a civil lawsuit surrounding the elite boarding school’s culpability for her sexual assault at the hands of an 18-year-old high-school senior-does not belong on the federal bench. ![]() "This is a time to do the courageous thing and withdraw this nomination," Alex Prout told the Washington Free Beacon. That has left it to the Prout family to make sure, in the words of Chessy’s father Alex Prout, that Delaney is nothing more than "an ambulance-chasing attorney."

Now, five years after the Prouts settled with the school, President Joe Biden wants to make Delaney a federal judge.
