Chessy Prout (PROUT') was a 15-year-old freshman at St. Paul's School when she accused Owen Labrie (luh-BREE') of sexually assaulting her days before he graduated as part of a tradition known as "Senior Salute." He was convicted in 2015 of misdemeanor sexual assault, child endangerment and using a computer to lure the girl for sex.
On Friday, the Concord Monitor reported that the school is investigating allegations that eight boys were competing in a different sexual conquest competition this year.
Prout says students are being harmed by the administration's inaction.

The AP typically doesn't identify victims of sexual assault unless they come forward publicly, as Prout has done.
