Owen Labrie, the former New Hampshire prep school student convicted on felony charges that stemmed from a rape allegation, is headed back to court Wednesday as he continues to fight for a new trial.

The 23-year-old Labrie will reportedly argue that his legal team was ineffective in defending him against “certain uses of computer services prohibited,” of which he was found guilty in August 2015.

It was Labrie’s only felony conviction (he was found guilty of four misdemeanors, including sexual assault), but it came with a lifetime on the sex offender registry.

Labrie was 18 and a student at the prestigious St. Paul’s School in Concord, N.H. in May 2014 when he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old freshman girl as part of an alleged school ritual in which seniors compete to sleep with the most underclassmen.

The encounter began with an email inviting the girl, who later identified herself as Chessy Prout, to what was dubbed the “Senior Salute” – and it’s that email that Labrie and his legal team have continued to fight.

Earlier this month, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled unanimously to uphold Labrie’s felony conviction and declined to grant him a new trial.

“The defendant’s actions prior to, during, and after his encounter with the victim support the jury’s finding of the requisite intent at the time he sent the computer communications,” Chief Justice Robert Lynn wrote in the decision.

Labrie’s argument hinges on his claim that the state failed to prove his intentions with the email sent to Prout were to “seduce, solicit, lure, or entice” her.

The State’s opinion claimed that at St. Paul’s, invitations to Senior Salutes were widely known to imply sexual intercourse – and Prout later said she turned down Labrie’s initial invite because of his “really, really wrong” intentions.

Labrie had briefly dated her older sister, and Prout had heard rumors that he was involved in a competition for sexual conquests – but after Labrie had a friend of Prout’s drop a good word for him, she changed her mind.

The two agreed to meet, and eventually did in a school building boiler room. There, according to court documents, Labrie attempted to remove Prout’s underwear twice despite her protests, before he eventually had sex with her.

Despite the two agreeing not to talk about their encounter, word quickly spread, and Prout visited a local hospital for a rape kit, which eventually led to an investigation.

The court’s opinion defended its decision to convict Labrie on the grounds that the assault was pre-meditated, claiming that the former student had long harbored a crush on Prout, and that her name had been included on a list of potential conquests in all capital letters.

“I wasn’t given the luxury of staying quiet,” she said on the “Today” show. “My name was blasted on the internet… So I decided to kind of reclaim my name. I wanted to reclaim my name, reclaim my story, because it is difficult for a survivor to come forward like this.”
