The Silencing That Echoes Through Hallowed Halls
At fifteen, Lacy Crawford arrived at St. Paul's School in New Hampshire-a prestigious boarding school that groomed America's elite. What happened within those Gothic walls would haunt her for decades. When two hockey players sexually assaulted her one night in their dorm room, it wasn't just the violation itself that would leave lasting scars. It was what followed: a systematic institutional betrayal that transformed a traumatized teenager into "not a good girl" in the eyes of those meant to protect her. The assault left her throat ravaged with herpes-a diagnosis the school concealed from her while simultaneously destroying her reputation. Twenty-five years later, when investigators uncovered medical records documenting this cover-up, the machinery of privilege once again mobilized to protect the institution rather than seek justice. This isn't just a story about sexual assault-it's about how power operates, how reputations are weaponized, and how the most prestigious institutions can betray their most fundamental responsibilities to those in their care.
