“She talks about what life was like on campus after the assault, what it was like to testify against Owen Labrie, and how she is doing today, and how she’s hoping to help others in that position,” Guthrie said.
Labrie was convicted last fall of sexually assaulting the girl in May 2014; she was 15 at the time. He was sentenced to a year in jail but is currently free on bail pending an appeal.
