Reading Chessy’s book had a massive impact on me as the survivor of a middle school sexual assault. While I have been told time and time again “You’re not alone,” this did not truly resonate with me until learning about Chessy’s journey.

Dear Senators,
I am Elizabeth Zeigler, Executive Director of I Have The Right To, a registered 501 (c)(3) founded by Chessy Prout and her parents after Chessy came forward publicly to claim her name and story rather than be intimidated into silence by Michael Delaney and the motion he filed on behalf of St. Paul’s School.

Delaney was repeatedly pressed by Republican senators over his role in pushing to publicly name an underage female victim of sexual assault while representing a prep school in Concord, New Hampshire, in a case he litigated.
