"A bold, new voice." --People "A nuanced addition to the #MeToo conversation." --Vice A young survivor tells her searing, visceral story of sexual assault, justice, and healing in this gutwrenching memoir. The numbers are staggering: nearly one in five girls ages fourteen to seventeen have been the victim of a sexual assault or attempted sexual assault. This is the true story of one of those girls. In 2014, Chessy Prout was a freshman at St. Paul's School, a prestigious boarding school in New Hampshire, when a senior boy sexually assaulted her as part of a ritualized game of conquest. Chessy bravely reported her assault to the police and testified against her attacker in court. Then, in the face of unexpected backlash from her once-trusted school community, she shed her anonymity to help other survivors find their voice. This memoir is more than an account of a horrific event. It takes a magnifying glass to the institutions that turn a blind eye to such behavior and a society that blames victims rather than perpetrators. Chessy's story offers real, powerful solutions to upend rape culture as we know it today. Prepare to be inspired by this remarkable young woman and her story of survival, advocacy, and hope in the face of unspeakable trauma.… (mehr)

Thank you Chessy Prout for sharing your story of surviving sexual assault, and being a voice to those who have not spoken, or are not able to speak about their survival stories. I support #IHaveTheRighTo and #AllSurvivors and their families. ( )

Here's an earnest recounting of a horrible "date rape" in the disgusting 1% Boys Club that is the St. Paul's School of Concord, NH. This boarding school apparently provides students with no supervision or guidance, and the result is not surprising. Everyone in New England is very well aware of this case, where during a traditional "Senior Salute" event tacitly condoned by the school administration, senior boys try and have sex with underage girls and rack up points in a perverse competition. Especially prized are younger sisters of older students. Owen Labrie rapes Chessy Prout and she reports him and he is arrested. There is a trial, and when Labrie's lawyer threatens to identify Chessy, she comes forward and goes public, outing herself bravely and at great personal risk. It's obvious that Chessy is a very privileged white girl who comes from a wealthy family, and she doesn't even mention this until page 299. The entire year after the rape, the impact on Chessy and her family, and most of all, the utter disinterest of the school administration in this ONGOING criminal activity make for a very compelling read. Having a member of the Boston Globe Spotlight Team, Jenn Abelson, as a co-author, is a great advantage. ( )
