CONCORD, N.H. (Reuters) - A former student of an elite New Hampshire prep school was found not guilty on Friday of raping a 15-year-old girl days before graduation last year in a case that has shone a harsh spotlight on the school's culture.
Owen Labrie, 19, was found not guilty of three felony counts of raping a fellow student at St. Paul's School in Concord. The jury found him guilty of lesser misdemeanor counts of having sex with a person under the age of consent.
