The Life Altering Impact of Chessy Prout’s Memoir on Me
By Brylie Turk
4 minute read
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. I have spoken with and been encouraged by countless survivors throughout my healing, but none of them had shared my experiences of betrayal by my peers and school system, and none had been so close to my age.

Last week, senators grilled President Biden’s judicial nominee Michael Delaney about the aggressive tactics he used against a child sexual abuse survivor while representing St. Paul’s boarding school. Mr. Delaney asked a court to publicly reveal the identity of a child sexual abuse survivor that sued St. Paul’s under the pseudonym “Jane Doe.” Mr. Delaney’s tactics sadden me, but they don’t surprise me.
