Now, five years after the Prouts settled with the school, President
Joe Biden wants to make Delaney a federal judge. And his nomination
to the First Circuit Court of Appeals has put Democrats in an
awkward spot, caught between support for one of their party’s
judicial nominees and support for survivors of sexual assault.
St. Paul’s retained Delaney as counsel, and his tactics were
aggressive from the outset. The school demanded access to Prout’s
diary, threatened to interview her friends, and filed a motion to
strip her anonymity at trial.
Keeping victims of sex crimes anonymous at trial is hardly
irregular. When the Boy Scouts of America faced a lawsuit from
victims of a former scout leader who molested over 100 boys, their
names were never made public, though all of the victims were adults
at the time of the lawsuit. Delaney represented the Boy Scouts and
ultimately prevailed.
