Owen Labrie’s Accuser Reveals Identity, Wants To Be Voice For Others
August 30, 2016 9:13 AM
BOSTON (CBS) — In an interview on NBC’s “Today” show Tuesday morning, the teen who accused Owen Labrie of raping her at a prestigious New Hampshire prep school revealed her identity and told her story publicly for the first time.
Chessy Prout’s identity was hidden while Labrie was on trial, accused of raping her while he was a senior and Prout was a freshman at St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire in 2014.

But in the interview Tuesday, Prout said she wanted to go public to be a voice for other survivors of sexual assault.
“It’s been two years now since the whole ordeal, and I feel ready to stand up and own what happened to me,” Prout told The Today Show’s Savannah Guthrie. “And I’m going to make sure that other people, other girls, other boys, know that they can own it too, and that they don’t have to be ashamed either.”
