CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — In a case that scandalized an institution known for educating some of America's top political and literary leaders, a graduate of the elite St. Paul's prep school was sentenced to a year in jail for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl as part of a sexual conquest competition.
Twenty-year-old Owen Labrie of Tunbridge, Vermont, on Thursday also was ordered to register as a sex offender for life in connection with the May 2014 assault at St. Paul's School in Concord and to serve five years of probation after he gets out of jail. He can petition to be removed from the sex offender list 15 years after he completes his sentence.
STATE HOUSE — Ahead of a potential vote on the proposal, the Massachusetts High Technology Council warned Wednesday that a proposed 4 percent surtax on incomes over $1 million would "severely limit legislative and citizen power to set and amend tax policy in response to economic conditions."
The House and Senate meet together at 1 p.m. for a Constitutional Convention where a citizens' initiative (H 3933) is on the agenda behind nine other proposed legislative amendments to the state's constitution.
