CONCORD, N.H. — A jury has found former New Hampshire prep school student Owen Labrie not guilty of all three felony sex charges but guilty of lesser offenses — including three charges of misdemeanor sex assault — in his rape trial for allegedly assaulting a 15-year-old female student two days before he graduated last year.
Labrie, of Tunbridge, Vermont, faced nine charges, including the three felony sex assault charges that carried potential sentences of 10 to 20 years in prison.
Labrie was also found guilty of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor, and of using a computer to lure the girl, a Class B felony. He was found not guilty on a simple assault charge.
The jury deliberated 7 and a half hours. Labrie wept after the verdict was read.
