Re: Democrat sex offender Michael Delaney.

Now, five years after the Prouts settled with the school, President 
Joe Biden wants to make Delaney a federal judge. And his nomination 
to the First Circuit Court of Appeals has put Democrats in an 
awkward spot, caught between support for one of their party’s 
judicial nominees and support for survivors of sexual assault. 

St. Paul’s retained Delaney as counsel, and his tactics were 
aggressive from the outset. The school demanded access to Prout’s 
diary, threatened to interview her friends, and filed a motion to 
strip her anonymity at trial.

Keeping victims of sex crimes anonymous at trial is hardly 
irregular. When the Boy Scouts of America faced a lawsuit from 
victims of a former scout leader who molested over 100 boys, their 
names were never made public, though all of the victims were adults 
at the time of the lawsuit. Delaney represented the Boy Scouts and 
ultimately prevailed.
