"
The girl's family had arms around her as she cried softly."
The girl's family said in a statement: "Today, a measure of justice has been served for victims of sexual violence. While he was not convicted on all charges, Owen Labrie was held accountable in some way by a jury of his peers for crimes he committed against our daughter. This conviction requires him to take ownership for his actions and gives him the opportunity to reflect upon the harm he has caused."
The family added, "While we stood together as a family through this process, it was our young daughter who took the stand to speak the truth and request justice. We admire her bravery in coming forward and speaking out in the face of great adversity. It is truly her courage that has made this measure of justice possible today."
Owen Labrie was found guilty of lesser charges related to sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a minor. He may end up as a registered sex offender for life. (

Wait a minute!
I thought you were talking about Joe Biden?
I'm surprised he was not found guilty. Will all the Rolling Stones magazine hysteria, saying 1 in 5 is raped.
He still got Nifong'ed.
We he still be able to attend Harvard? He wasn't even one of the rich students at the elite, fab, New England prep school
He planned on going to the Divinity School @ Harvard. He might want to consider another major.
lol Nick; I forgot he wanted to go to the Divinity School-anyone can get into that school.
The weird thing is that the lou in the divinity school is known as a cruising spot.
Dating patterns have to take into account the fact that many young men are potential rapsts and that many young women have the potential to libellously accuse their date of being a rapist. I think Go-Pro body cams are going to be stylish fashion accessories for all young people in the future.
