One of President Biden’s judicial nominees is seeing his past actions come back to haunt him, as a sick incident from earlier in his career was brought up during his confirmation hearing.
On Wednesday, Michael Delaney, who was nominated for a seat on the U.S. Court of the Appeals for the First Circuit, was grilled by Senate Republicans at his confirmation hearing. The senators probed for details regarding how a prestigious New Hampshire private school Delaney represented dealt with a Sexual Assault case in 2015.
The case in question revolved around 15-year-old Chessy Prout, who was raped by a male student at St. Paul’s School. Delaney represented the school in the civil case that followed and, according to Bloomberg Law, he, on behalf of the school, made an effort to strip Prout of her anonymity during the proceedings.
Now, after his nomination to the appellate Court, Senate Republicans are grilling him for what, according to the Prout family, they said were Delaney’s intimidation tactics to shut up their daughter in order to protect the school’s reputation.
GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee expressed absolute shock and horror that Delaney would be willing to defend the school, while refusing to ensure that the victim’s right to anonymity was protected.
