Judge Orders St. Paul's School Sexual Assaulter to Jail

CONCORD, NH - A Merrimack County Superior Court has revoked the bail of Owen Labrie, the St. Paul’s School graduate and convicted sexual assaulter, for violating bail provisions earlier this year.

The request by prosecutors was made after a journalist from VICE.com that covered the salacious trial, that made national headlines, ran into him on a red line train in Cambridge, and Labrie reportedly admitted to her that he was worried about missing curfew.

In the article – “My Surreal Train Ride with One of New England's Most Notorious Sex Offenders,” posted earlier this month by Susan Zalkind – led to prosecutors inquiring about his curfew provisions after he mentioned being worried about the subway train stalling and him missing curfew.

Evidence was presented by both sides, with prosecutors showing bus tickets that Labrie had purchased that reportedly showed him leaving and arriving outside of curfew times.

Eight different times since being released on bail after being found guilty of sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and felony prohibited use of a computer, Labrie allegedly missed curfew, a violation of his bail provisions.

Judge Larry Smukler took a short recess and then, quickly returned to issue a decision after about 15 minutes, according to posts on Twitter by other media outlets.

"You did 'deny until you die,'" Smukler reportedly stated to Labrie before rendering his decision, offering words that Labrie wrote on classmates about the Senior Salute sexcapades at the elite private high school. "In some ways, you're a very good liar."
