Jurors in St. Paul's School rape case weighing credibility of 2 teens, other testimony
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jurors will resume weighing the credibility of two teens and other evidence in a case in which prosecutors say an 18-year-old senior raped a freshman as part of a culture of sexual conquest at an elite New Hampshire prep school.
Owen Labrie, of Tunbridge, Vermont, faces nine charges, including three felony sex assault charges that carry a sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Labrie raped the 15-year-old just days before he graduated last year, in a practice known as Senior Salute.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Labrie testified the two had consensual sexual contact that stopped short of intercourse.
Lawyers on both sides Thursday were critical of St. Paul's School and made credibility a focal point of their arguments.
Jurors deliberated more than three hours Thursday and return to court Friday.
